Why was this so long without an article? Sounds suspicious :) --TheFEARgod (Ч) 13:46, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image

Is this image really better than the previous one? Nudve (talk) 06:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This image isn't the Shayetet's normal Insignia, the normal one is in Silver, not gold.

Why not get the public domain image from the IN official page or use this one from Wikipedia Hebrew? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/he/e/e7/%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%AA_%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%97%D7%9D_%D7%91%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%99%D7%98%D7%AA_13.gif

Problem with this article is the article, not the image. [[[User:Mewnews|Mewnews]] (talk) 22:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)}[reply]

Yom Kippur war and other missing information

This is a poor article about Shayetet 13 that makes it look like they did nothing but have their people killed off. In fact, some of their best achievements were in the Yom Kippur war, that doesn't seem to be mentioned at all. Likewise, the sinking of Arafat's "refugee ship" in Cyprus (1988) is probably theirs too. 1979-1981 the unit did 22 raids in Lebanon and got a unit medal. It's all in the Hebrew version of the Wikipedia article - or most of it. Also look up operation Escort... This unit was also involved in killing Abu Jihad in Tunis.

Prior to formal foundation as an IDF unit, Yochai Bin Nun and Yossele Dror had some interesting action, sinking the Amir al Farouq in the 1948 war (Bin Nun) and sinking the arms ship Lino in Bari Harbor (Bin Nun).[[[User:Mewnews|Mewnews]] (talk) 22:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)][reply]

Characterization

When special forces units engage in sabotage / search and destroy its normally termed "Direct Action." Is there a reason the term "assassination" is being used instead? Or is it politically motivated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.186.46.82 (talk) 22:41, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Attack on the Freedom Flotilla

It's suspected that S'13 was the special forces unit used in the boarding of the freedom flotilla on may 31. Killing between 10-16 peaceactivists travelling to Gaza with humanitarian aid, and activists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johanmw (talk • contribs) 08:03, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More News about Humanitarian Aid Flotilla Operation

No doubt after these news. They were S'13. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-navy-commandos-gaza-flotilla-activists-tried-to-lynch-us-1.293089 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.51.41.198 (talk) 12:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{editsemiprotected}} Due to the current media coverage and the controversy of the Gaza flotilla raid, this page has been vandalized numerous times especially by unregistered users. Therefore I request semi-protection for the Shayetet 13 article.

Not done: requests for increases to the page protection level should be made at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 12:16, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
