Israel's navy has intercepted a ship carrying more than 500 tons of weapons from Iran.

Israel has alleged the weapons were bound for Syria and eventually Hezbollah in Lebanon.

For some time Israel's security forces have suggested Hezbollah may be be rearming for future conflict in Lebanon.

The ship was stopped late Tuesday evening, during a routine Israeli patrol of international waters.

Israeli soldiers were given permission by the captain of the vessel to board the German-owned ship, where they found 300 Iran Shipping Lines containers, en-route to Syria.

Inspection of some of the containers ammunition crates hidden amid sacks of industrial materials.

The ship with its crew was then taken back to an Israeli port, where the captain and crew were deemed not to have been knowingly involved with the shipment.

Syria has now been accused by the Israeli government of serving as an intermediary for the arms shipments.

What happens to the weapons?

Will Israel destroy them or will the world stupidly force Israel to give them back?

The Israel cAN use those weapons to fire back to the intended country of delivery lebanon or syria.
Those are hot weapons that could bear no cost to the Israel goverment but to the supplier and the country who will recieved it.

What is known...

...is israekis violated International Law by confiscating a shipment to Syria of Iranian origin on a German vessel.

I would gather israekis are willing to be boss of the World and engage in war against any that oppose israeki terror.

Time for more than just Turkey to stand up and say No!

Do you ever question

the timing of things like this? Ever wonder why it all seems to fall perfectly together to get both sides infuriated at one another? Communist News Network is running with the Nada Martyr story today, front page. Of course, the guys at the Council on Foreign Relations couldn’t coordinate something like this.

Israel has got no business to interfere.

Israel has got no business in investigating what Iran sells to anyone.Iran is a sovereign nation and it has the right to sell weapons to its clients.

This search of an Iranian ship by Israel is one of the many travesties of justice and sovereignty committed by Israel.

The state of Israel is big blot on the history of mankind.

Or is the Islamic worlds constant attempts to destroy Israel the real blot?
Islam is the blot upon mankind just like Christianity was during the dark ages.
Arab and Persian Muslims need to learn to live in peace and then there will be peace.
Until then Israel will fight.
Stop giving Israel a reason to be paranoid.

Because very careful who you are swearing at. Jehovah the God of Isreal is the true GOD. Even as an atheist I would never swear at Jehovah Jirah.
You and your family will surely be cursed.
