Yep, I went to three news sites and they all said deny an Israeli warship was destroyed, nw.

Here's just 1 of the articles.

"Katyushas Smash into Israel; Launchers Quickly Destroyed"
14:13 Aug 11, '06 / 17 Av 5766
by Hillel Fendel


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Among the Katyushas that hit Haifa today were advanced 302mm types (more than a foot in diameter), known as Fajr rockets.

Within a short time after the rockets hit Israel, the Israel Air Force reported that it had destroyed the launchers from which some of them were fired. The launchers were destroyed in the area of Tyre, some 50 kilometers north of Haifa.

Another round of rocket-warning sirens was sounded in many northern areas around 2 PM; no word of casualties or damage was initially received.

A total of 142 soldiers and Katyusha-injured civilians are hospitalized in the three main hospitals in the north - Rambam in Haifa, Sieff in Tzfat, and the Nahariya hospital. Among the wounded are 27 in serious condition.

The Israel Air Force attacked 100 targets in Lebanon over the night, including Katyusha rocket launchers. At least eleven terrorists were reported killed in various battles or incidents."
