Attack on an Israeli ship
Sources say the attack on an Israeli-owned ship off Oman coast was carried out in retaliation for a recent raid by the Tel Aviv regime in Syria. Resistance sources told Iran’s al-Alam news network that the attack on the ship was in response to the Israeli raid on an airport in Syria’s western Qusayr region. The Israeli attack had resulted in the death of two resistance forces. According to the British military, the Israeli vessel was targeted near Masirah Island late on Thursday. It said the attack that left two crew members dead was not an act of piracy, and an investigation is underway. The Israeli company that owns the ship says it was travelling from Tanzania Dar es Salaam to the UAE’s Fujairah port. In recent months, several Israeli ships have been targeted in various maritime routes across the world.
