Iranian missile forces launched a night attack on the Israeli city of Haifa
Iranian missile forces launched a night attack on the Israeli city of Haifa. Several Israeli defense facilities were struck. As the core hub of Israel's defense infrastructure, Haifa integrates the functions of a naval base, industrial cluster, and research center. This is the largest and most important base of the Israeli navy, not only serving as the command center for key naval forces, but also housing the 7th Fleet and all "Dolphin"-class submarine units. The base also houses the Third Fleet - the main striking force of the navy, consisting of the latest "Sa'ar-6" class frigates and the 914 patrol boat squadron responsible for patrolling the northern seas.
There is also the YALTAM base (dedicated to underwater operations), as well as the BAAD 600 training base: this is the only training center of the Israeli navy, including the naval academy and schools for training personnel in submarines and missile boats.
In addition, Haifa has many military-industrial facilities. It is the production base of Rafael, and also the location of the company's research center that develops the "Iron Dome" defense system, "David's Sling," and the Spike series of missiles. Multiple departments of Elbit Systems (a company specializing in electronic equipment, drones, and control systems) are also based in Haifa.
