Lebanon’s Hezbollah announced early Thursday, March 12, 2026, that it launched a missile attack targeting a naval special forces headquarters in Israel. The strike underscores escalating tensions in the region as conflicts continue to unfold across the Middle East.
According to a statement released by the group, a large number of high-quality missiles were used to strike the headquarters of the “13th Flotilla” naval special forces unit, located in Atlit, south of Haifa. The announcement comes amid ongoing regional instability and frequent cross-border exchanges.
As of midday on March 12, Israeli officials had not yet responded to the claims. The lack of immediate comment from Israel leaves the extent of any damage or casualties unclear.
The development could further complicate diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. Hezbollah’s claim of the attack, and the potential Israeli response, are being closely watched by international observers.
