Israel Seizes Iranian Ship Packed With Advanced Rockets Bound For Palestinian Terrorists In Gaza
2014-03-05
..Panamanian-flagged cargo ship. Why the Israelis do not adopt a doctrine that all vessels found carrying cargo like this will be seized/scuttled is beyond me..
They seized this one. Seems like the Phester Doctrine is working...
