On October 7th, 1973, two gun patrol boats were sent alone on a suicide mission to attack the Egyptian coast. Miraculously, the boats returned after being stuck on the shallow shore under heavy fire. After 50 years, the investigations revealed the story of the hero from the battle whose story disappeared till this day, the late Hertzl Elmalem, along with the story of the fighters who returned. The Battle of Marsa Talamat in his name, became part of the battle ethos of the ISR Navy on Yom Kippur and in general.
