Ship responsible for Israel conflict found
The "Altalena" ship was found completely submerged after sinking in 1948 during the Israeli War of Independence, off the Israeli coast at a depth of 503 meters. The ship was carrying migrants, weapons, and military equipment. The confrontation between the Irgun organization and Israeli leadership led to its sinking after a battle that resulted in the death of 19 people, including members of the organization and Israeli soldiers. Israeli officials announced that the discovery of the ship aims to commemorate this historic event and document one of the most significant moments in Israel's history, following years of efforts using advanced marine surveying technologies.
