Greek isle celebrates Israel's navy heroes

To mark a major 1953 temblor that destroyed the capital of Argostoli, the island of Cephalonia on Sunday invited an Israeli navy squadron that helped rescue victims, Reuters said.

Admiral Shlomo Erel, who led the squadron in Israel's then-fledgling navy, recalled being on a training mission near the island when a quake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale struck and the Israelis heard a distress signal.
