Ygal Shapir, State Executive Director and Jerusalem Emissary of JNF NSW, recounts the gripping tale of The Missile Boats of Cherbourg and its military and naval significance.
Ygal served as senior crew member on one of five Israeli warships reclaimed from Cherbourg Harbour in a quasi-military operation in 1969.
The boats, which had been subject to an arms embargo imposed by French President Charles De Gaulle, were of vital significance to Israel’s naval defence capabilities.
