Dabur class is a class of patrol boats built in United States at the Sewart Seacraft shipyard for the Israeli Navy, and by IAI-Ramta.

Dabur boats' first battle engagements were made in the October 1973 Yom Kippur War. During this war, Dabur boats attacked an Egyptian commando force in their own port and destroyed speed boats and rubber dinghies just as they were preparing for attacks on Israeli targets.^[1]
