Plot

The film takes place during the War of Attrition in 1969, before the October War, specifically in July. The film deals with the Egyptian raids on the Israeli port of Eilat, operations carried out by a group of frogmen belonging to the Egyptian Navy, when they attacked the Eilat War Port and were able to destroy two warships: Beit Sheva, Bat Yam and the war pier (the two ships were attacking the Egyptian positions in the Red Sea after the Israeli forces took over the Sinai), then the return of these frogs safely after completing their mission successfully, after the martyrdom of one hero.
