IDF: Ship's weapons intended for Gaza, Turkey not involved

The IDF Spokesman stated Tuesday that as far as they know Turkey is not involved with the arms vessel captured 200 miles west of the Israeli coast, in spite of the fact that the ship sailed from a Turkish port. It is believed that the weapons found on the ship were intended for Gaza.

The Israeli Navy took control of the ship without any resistance from the ship's crew. The ship is being towed to the Ashdod port. (Ynet)
