✸The corvette Hanit hit off Beirut

On the evening of 14 July 2006 a C-802 naval missile hit the Israeli corvette "Hanit" off the Beirut shore, killing four sailors; the ship was towed to Haifa, while a Cambodian-flagged vessel was sunk by a second missile. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced the hit during his live speech: "Look at it burning", and the operation revealed a weapon Israel had not reckoned with.
