It’s reported two Israeli bases in Eritrea have come under attack. These are very interesting operations with one being a listening post along with a dock facility.

Israeli forces deployed at two different secret bases in Eritrea had come under attack, Al-Mayadeen reported on October 26.
Citing unnamed military sources in Eritrea, the Lebanese news channel said that a base at the Dahlak Archipelago in the Red Sea and another located on top of the Emba Soira Mountain in the central region were both targeted.
The sources didn’t clarify how or when the two bases were targeted, but said that an Israeli officer was killed in one of the attacks.
Neither the Israeli or Eritrean governments have commented on the Al-Mayadeen report, so far. The Israelis rarely disclose any information about the covert deployment and operations of their military and intelligence abroad.
According to a report released by Stratfor, an United States-based strategic intelligence company, back in 2012, Israel has docks in the Dahlak Archipelago and a listening station on the Amba Sawara mountains.
The docks in the Dahlak Archipelago are allegedly being used by Israel Navy submarines and ships taking part in Israel’s covert war against the Iranian networks smuggling weapons to the Hamas Movement in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Yemen.
In 2016, a press message based on information from the Eritrean opposition said that Israel had completed the construction of the listening station on the Emba Soira Mountain to monitor the movement of the Saudi-led coalition involved in the war against the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen and to eavesdrop on Iran.
The report of attacks on secret bases in Eritrea came as the unprecedented war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza was heating up.
Iranian-backed forces in Iraq and Syria have already launched more than a dozen with drones and rocket attacks against U.S. bases. The Houthis were also accused of firing more than a dozen cruise missiles and suicide drones at Israel via the Red Sea. The missiles and drones were reportedly shot down by a U.S. warship and Saudi air defenses.
