The Israeli Navy’s commando unit, Shayetet 13, understands how oxygen tanks work better than anybody.
Now they are lending their scuba diving expertise to help supply oxygen to #COVID19 patients.
Everyone has a role to play in this battle.

Earlier today, hundreds of Gazans rioted on Israel’s border. Our soldiers stood between the rioters and Israeli families living a short distance away. Using civilians as cover, a sniper fired at our soldiers, wounding two.
We will continue to defend Israel’s border & civilians.

Overnight, our troops thwarted the largest smuggling attempt in the last few years on the Lebanon-Israel Border.

Iran, we're watching you.
IDF intel can confirm that the Iranian Quds Force Unit 840, which is part of Iran's global network of terror, was responsible for the IED attacks on the Israel-Syria border this week & in August 2020.
We will not allow Iran to entrench itself in Syria.

What is the Iron Dome?
1. The result of the Israel–U.S. security partnership
2. The defense of Israel's strategic assets against terrorist threats
3. A system that saves millions of lives
Could you imagine if the Iron Dome didn't exist?
