Israel Intercepts Ship Laden with Gaza-Bound Weapons
(CNN) Israeli commandos intercepted a ship in the Mediterranean Sea Tuesday carrying weapons bound for Gaza militants, the Israel Defense Forces said. The cargo vessel "Victoria" was stopped about 200 miles west of Israel's coast. The ship initially departed from Latakia in Syria, proceeded to Mersin in Turkey, and then headed for Egypt. The crew didn't resist and the vessel was brought to the Israeli port of Ashdod for inspection.
