Report: Foreign Submarine Entered Israeli Waters
(Jerusalem Post) An unidentified submarine from an unknown nation entered Israeli territorial waters off the coast of Nahariya last Wednesday, November 10, Army Radio reported Monday. Iran, Egypt, and Syria have submarines, and the incident may have been an attempt to test Israel's sea defenses. Israel's Navy immediately dispatched surface vessels to intercept the submarine, but it slipped out of Israeli territorial waters before the confrontation. The IDF reacted to the incident as a "hostile act," and helicopters and other measures were deployed.
