The Port of Haifa - the Port of Haifa is the largest of Israel's three major international seaports, which include the Port of Ashdod, and the Port of Eilat. It has a natural deep-water harbour which operates all year long and serves both passenger and cargo ships.

Israel's Blockade of Gaza, the Mavi Marmara Incident, and Its Aftermath
Israel’s Blockade of Gaza, the Mavi Marmara Incident, and Its Aftermath Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs June 23, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41275 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Israel’s Blockade of Gaza, the Mavi Marmara Incident, and Its Aftermath Summary Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, but retained control of its borders. Hamas, a U.S. State Department-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), won the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections and forcibly seized control of the territory in 2007. Israel imposed a tighter blockade of Gaza in response to Hamas’s takeover and tightened the flow of goods and materials into Gaza after its military offensive against Hamas from December 2008 to January 2009. That offensive destroyed much of Gaza’s infrastructure, but Israel has obstructed the delivery of rebuilding materials that it said could also be used to manufacture weapons and for other military purposes. Israel, the U.N., and international non-governmental organizations differ about the severity of the blockade’s effects on the humanitarian situation of Palestinian residents of Gaza. Nonetheless, it is clear that the territory’s economy and people are suffering. In recent years, humanitarian aid groups have sent supply ships and activists to Gaza. However, Israel directs them to its port of Ashdod for inspection before delivery to Gaza. In May 2010, the pro-Palestinian Free Gaza Movement and the pro-Hamas Turkish Humanitarian Relief Fund organized a six-ship flotilla to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and to break Israel’s blockade of the territory.

Terrorism in Israel Learning from the Very Best!!
Saint Leo University, in partnership with Security Solutions International, is proud to announce the course: Terrorism in Israel Learning from the Very Best!! May 15-May 23, 2020-Summer Session Saint Leo Students will earn either 3 undergraduate credits, or 3 graduate credits Saint Leo is the only University that attends this trip! By attending this training course, we will obtain an inside look at the way Israel’s ports, airports, shopping malls, government buildings, critical infrastructure, schools and stadiums are protected. We will be meeting some of the people that are responsible for keeping Israel safe. We will also be learning about Suicide Terror, about VBIEDs, about protecting VIP’s and other high profile targets. The aim of this program is to take away ideas on how to harden targets in our own areas by observing Israeli techniques and translating them to fit our own vulnerabilities, thus better protecting our country from these violent actions. Because the face of terrorism changes more easily than conventional forces, we must always be learning. This is the only way to stay ahead of the threat. Israel is a very small, young country that has accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short time against a background of either full-scale war or protracted low-intensity conflicts throughout most of its existence. Over the last two years, they have managed to stop nearly 95% of the terrorist attacks against them. Through a total of 60 study hours, our students will benefit from their knowledge, and will apply it in areas like Public Safety, School Safety, Port and Airport Security, Aviation Security, Critical Infrastructure and Government Building Security and Dignitary Protection.
