Atlit naval base is a classified Israeli Navy base on the northern Mediterranean coast of Israel. The base is home to Shayetet 13, Israel's naval commando unit.
In 2010, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the base to salute the commandos who took part in the Gaza flotilla raid. During the Operation Arrows of the North, Hezbollah claimed that its drone squadron successfully struck the Atlit base.
