The Israeli Navy's missile ships, including the INS Nitzachon, are playing a central role in targeting Hezbollah infrastructure and operatives in Lebanon. These ships feature stealth technology that reduces their radar signature, making them appear lightly armed, while advanced weaponry like the Iron Dome aerial defense system is revealed only during launch. The navy has also intercepted attempts to target Israel's offshore gas rigs and has carried out daily strikes in support of ground forces in Gaza. They have integrated new German-made corvettes into operational service and are preparing to receive Reshef-class ships in the future.
