Hezbollah says it attacked Israeli warship

Hezbollah announced on Sunday that it had attacked an Israeli warship off the Lebanese coast with a cruise missile. It is the first such claim by the militant pro-Iranian group since the start of the Middle East war.

In a statement, Hezbollah claims having targeted the warship 68 nautical miles off the coast, which it was "preparing for attacks on Lebanese territory". Israeli warships recently attacked Hezbollah in Lebanon several times.
