Rear Admiral Zeev Almog | Former Commander in Chief, Israeli Navy

In 1979, immediately following the signing of the peace treaty with Egypt, a new window of opportunity opened and I decided it was time to fulfill our moral obligation to our fighters Missing in Action and their families, inspired by the desire, tradition, and national passion to bring every soldier back, and begin searching for DAKAR in places we couldn’t search before…

Searching for the massive submarine, Israel launched more than 25 underwater expeditions. Nothing relating to the DAKAR was ever found.
