(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - The Israeli Navy is currently implementing the "Simba," a mobile sonar designed to quickly identify terrorist infiltrations into Israel by sea, mainly from Gaza.

The new sonar is expected to be vastly superior to the one currently in use which has triggered dozens of false alarms. It can identify in real time who is an enemy combatant among hundreds of marine mammals, submerged objects and civilian divers.
