H I Sutton has a good article on Israel's 'Killer Dolphins'

I think in reality it was not a device to kill but had an other use, like mentioned. Hamas seems to say the frogman was killed, but doesn't confirm by the dolphin in the English quotes.

If the dolphins got contused and attacked a school trip swimming at the beach it wouldn't look great. All you need is the dolphin to call back it's found something then drop a conventional bomb in the water or what not.

Brings to mind Karel Kapek's 1936 "The War with the Newts".

He is better known for his 1920 play, "R.U.R.", or "Rossum's Universal Robots", which brought "robot" into English.

Both explore the self-deception character of attempts at imposing servitude. The US has still not processed its varied experience.
