Israel between two maritime fronts – Jerusalem Studio 762

Israel’s main coastline is on its west, facing the Mediterranean Sea. The country’s main naval adversary was once Egypt, but after four decades of peace with Israel, today’s maritime challenges emanate chiefly from Syria, Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. This has especially been true since discovery of an abundance of offshore energy resources, which is why the main Israeli Navy fleet operates from the Haifa and Ashdod Ports. Yet, with Iran and its proxies threatening shipping and shore-based targets in the Persian Gulf, Bab-el-Mandeb and Red Sea areas, Israeli naval vessels have also been tasked with a major responsibility near the southern city of Eilat amid heightened cooperation with Air Force and intelligence assets, as well as American and regional partners. Israel must now balance naval activities between ‘micro versions’ of a Sixth Fleet in the West and a Fifth Fleet in the South via Egypt’s Suez Canal.
