No, because in 2006 it didn't even spot or try to engage the Iranian Anti-ship missile that hit the Saar-5 Corvette.

Didn't know about this so I googled it:

On July 14, 2006, while blockading the Lebanese port of Beirut, the INS Hanit was attacked by Hezbollah, using an Iranian version of the Chinese C-802 missile. An explosion caused the landing pad to cave in and be engulfed in flames that threatened the aviation fuel storage below, and the flames were not fully extinguished until several hours later. The ship suffered some damage, but stayed afloat, got itself out of the line of fire, and made the rest of the journey back to Ashdod for repairs on its own.[1]. Four IDF sailors were killed. The ship is currently in service.
An investigation into the incident by the Israeli Navy concluded that the missile was indeed a C-802 which hit a crane in the rear of the ship, that the ship's radar was not fully functional at the time, that both the ECM and the Barak anti-missile systems were in a two-minute stand-by mode and that the ship's captain was not aware of that fact.[2]
