Ship discovered after 78 years
The wreck of the historic "Altalina" ship was discovered off the coast of Tel Aviv after 78 years of disappearance, sparking public disputes between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The ship was fully located at a depth of 503 meters and 27 kilometers from the coast using advanced scanning technologies, amid delays due to wartime conditions and weather. The ship is considered a historical symbol that has led to regional internal conflicts since the 1948 war, as it was loaded with weapons and fighters from the Irgun gang. Its sinking in clashes resulted in the deaths of 16 Irgun members and three soldiers, and it remains a symbol of ongoing Israeli internal divisions since that time.
