MAJOR: According to Israeli channel 14: "Hezbollah fired an anti ship missile today and hit a British warship in front of Lebanese shores. The Israeli assessment is that Hezbollah thought it was Israeli. The British warship was hit and damaged." If this was true, the ship was mostly a type 45 HMS Diamond or Defender, specialised in air defense and helping in suppressing Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Israel, and protecting Cyprus British bases. It might be an escort frigate type 23. This is wonderful.
