History in the depths of the sea: Altalena ship located intact, 78 years after it was sunk off the coast of Israel

The discovery of the Altalena is an exciting historical moment, in which knowledge, technology, and advanced mapping capabilities allow us to touch upon a significant chapter in the history of the State of Israel. The Survey of Israel is proud to take part in the national effort to uncover the past, led by Roni Sadeh, head of the Hydrographic Division at the Survey of Israel, and to work for its precise documentation and preservation for future generations.

In a joint statement, the prime minister and defense minister made it clear that the IDF will intensify targeted killings if ceasefire violations continue.
