The Israeli navy intercepted yesterday an Antiguan vessel carrying hundreds of tons of Iranian weapons, including rockets, hand grenades, mortars and at least 3,000 missiles, allegedly intended for Hezbollah. The ship, Francop, was a 100 miles off the Irsaeli coast, and had "dozens of shipping containers, carrying numerous weapons, disguised as civilian cargo among hundreds of other containers on board". The crew was apparently unaware of the smuggling, and the Israeli military searched the Francop with the permission of its captain. A spokesperson said that "the weapons originate from Iran and were intended to reach the Hezbollah terror organization for use against the state of Israel and its citizens", but Iran and Syria have both rejected Israel's accusations. Hezbollah denied any link to the weapons, and accussed Israel of piracy in international waters.
