Overview
- The IDF disclosed Thursday that its submarines reached their farthest range ever and operated in three theaters at once, in a wartime campaign that for the first time paired subs with missile boats against air defenses.
- In Syria and Lebanon, the Navy said it sank 15 Syrian vessels in about an hour, struck dozens of 80–200 km missiles, and heavily degraded Hezbollah’s coastal missile array hidden under civilian sites.
- Israeli officials said forces struck up to 150 kilometers inside Yemen against Houthi targets, disrupting supply routes and preventing about 80% of goods from reaching their destinations.
- Shayetet 13, the Navy’s commando unit, carried out a mission thousands of kilometers from Israel with no extraction plan and executed a seaborne raid at Naqoura in Lebanon, described as the first of its kind since 2000.
- Over 48 days of Operation Roaring Lion, the fleet logged about 26,000 sea hours, conducted 154 strikes and 40 interceptions, fielded four Sa’ar 6 corvettes, received two U.S. landing craft, created the Netz drone unit, and expects the INS Drakon submarine soon.
