Not much is known about the Operations the most elite idf unit - Shayetet 13, but they are said to have done more Counter Terrorist operations then any other Special force unit in the world!
here is but a very very small part of information i could get about their operations.
?????? · 1980. Shayetet 13 Operators infiltrate into the city of Triploi, N. Lebanon, and illuminate the headquarters of the DFLP ( Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine) and PFLPGC (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command) to guide in missiles from IDF Navy missile boats. Both headquarters were hit dead-on.
Operation High Voltage · April 19, 1980. Attack on the ALF (Arab Liberation Front) Maritime base at Ras as-Shaq. Members swam to shore and assaulted an ALF Naval Commando camp, killing 15 ALF commandos and wounding several more. In addition, the main HQ building was destroyed by a 20Kg Satchel charge.
Operation Peacefor Galilee · June-August, 1982. Flotilla 13 operators take part in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Flotilla cleared the beach for the initial landing in which over 5,000 Jeeps, tanks, and other pieces of equipment were landed. After the landing, they were tasked with patrolling the coastal highway leading back to Beruit and knocking out any terrorists fleeing north or moving south to reinforce the embattled forces in Lebanon.
Operation???????? · Apr 15, 1988. Attack on Abu Jihad, Palestinian member of PLO who ordered many terrorist attacks on Israelis. Shayetet 13 members cleared the beach for the Sayeret Matkal operators who found and assassinated the PLO leader.
Operation Blue & Brown · December 8, 1988. Combined Shayetet 13/Sayeret Golani raid to kill Ahmed Jibril, leader of PFLP-GC (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command). Flotilla 13 cleared the beach and the Sayeret assaulted a hilltop that was the location of one of Jibril's command posts. The heavy fortifications bogged the Sayeret down and they had to be extracted by helicopter under heavy fire with their commander killed.
