A Russian submarine has sailed off the coast of Tel Aviv, the website of the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported Monday.
According to the site, this incident occurred 3 months ago, and that the submarine sailed eight nautical miles, and then headed west in the Mediterranean.
According to the site, it is unclear whether the submarine sailing caused any security damage, and since when the submarine was located off the coast of Tel Aviv.
The IDF declined to comment on the report, but noted that several warships are being detected by the Israeli navy and are being handled.
The website pointed out that Israeli naval officers spoke with their Russian counterparts and activated the maritime coordination mechanism through the planning section of the General Staff.
In the past, similar incidents were recorded between Israeli and Russian ships, but most of them occurred on international routes, and ended with joint coordination.
The site is likely that the presence of the submarine off the coast of Israel relates to the tasks of Russia to intervene in the Syrian war, pointing out that the submarine is to collect intelligence.
