Unit 101 was an Israeli special forces unit founded in 1953 by Ariel Sharon on orders from Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to retaliate against Palestinian violence against Israeli civilians. It was the first IDF unit to receive orders directly from military command rather than a lower sub-command. Unit 101 conducted operations targeting bases and villages used by infiltrators, but its attack on the village of Qibya in 1953 that killed around 70 civilians led to the unit being disbanded in 1954 and merged into the Paratroopers Brigade.
Tsunami Bomb - Weapons Getting Nasty
The U.S. military conducted tests in the 1940s called Project Seal off the coasts of New Zealand and New Caledonia to test the feasibility of creating tsunamis with explosives. Over 3,700 bombs were detonated to try to create a 33 foot tall tsunami that could devastate a small coastal city. Researchers determined they could create a tsunami through precisely positioning 10 large offshore explosions. However, the documents note that creating a tsunami would require 2 million kilograms of explosives and careful placement of bombs in a line 5 miles offshore, making it an impractical military weapon.

- 1. SEA WOLF NAVAL GUIDED MISSILE SYSTEM GUARDING ROYAL NAVY AGAINST THREATS
- 2. Introduction • Sea Wolf is a naval guided missile system designed and built by BAC, later to become British Aerospace (BAe) Dynamics (now MBDA). • It is an automated point-defense weapon system designed as a final line of defense against both sea- skimming and high angle anti-ship missiles and aircraft. • The Royal Navy has fielded two versions, the GWS- 25 Conventionally Launched Sea Wolf (CLSW) and the GWS-26 Vertically Launched Sea Wolf (VLSW) forms.
- 4. Development • The system was developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) from a 1964 requirement for a replacement for the Sea Cat missile system to give small warships protection against anti-ship missiles and aircraft. • The first deployment, in the GWS-25 form, was on the Type 22 frigate (2 systems) and later on modified Leander class frigates (1 system) in six-round, manually loaded, trainable launchers. • It entered service with the Royal Navy in 1979 and was fired in anger during the Falklands War. • Current deployment is the GWS-26 Mod 1 system on Type 23 frigates, fielding 32 vertical launch missiles (VL Sea Wolf) in its missile silo. It is expected to remain in service until 2020.
