“Photos: Captured Ship Had Huge Number of Arms for Hizballah”
by Israel Today   
November 6th, 2009

Israel commandos on Tuesday night stormed and commandeered a German-owned cargo ship off the coast of Cyprus after learning that it was carrying weapons to the Hizballah terrorist militia in Lebanon.

It is unknown if the Israelis were prepared for the sheer number of weapons aboard the ship, which military officials said ended up being hundreds of tons worth of mortar shells, anti-tank missiles, Katyusha missiles and other heavy weaponry.

Hizballah later denied any connection to the ship and accused Israel of piracy for taking over the vessel in international waters. The shipping company claimed it had no idea the huge arms cache was hidden among the civilian cargo it was carrying.

Art's Commentary.......The amazing thing is that the US and the World want Israel to give up land that would give the enemies Israel a more strategic base from which to use these arms against her.
