Hezbollah claimed responsibility for targeting a naval base on Israel's northern Mediterranean coast that houses an elite Israeli naval commando unit. The Shayetet 13 unit, operating out of the Atlit naval base, is known for carrying out strategic sabotage activities across enemy lines, including damaging vital structures during wartime and the enemy's seaports, as stated by the Israeli military.
Earlier on Tuesday, sirens were heard in the area of Atlit, south of Haifa, with no reported injuries, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF did not confirm whether the naval base was the specific target of the attack.
