Special Israeli Defense Forces have uncovered a massive cache of advance weapons on board a cargo ship headed for Syria. The weapons are believed to have been sent from Iran destined for Syria and Hizbollah.
Some of the advanced weapons included anti-aircraft missiles, Katyusha rockets, mortars, grenades and of course AK-47s. Up to 500 tonnes of weapons may have been seized.
From Jerusalem Post
Special Navy forces discovered a massive amount of weapons and ammunition on a cargo ship some 100 nautical miles west of Israel overnight Tuesday after boarding the vessel, which was flying an Antiguan flag.[...]
Hundreds of tons of weaponry were on board in dozens of containers, they said.
A significant amount of 122-millimeter Katyusha rockets, likely made in Iran, assault rifles, mortar shells and grenades were found on board, added the officials.
Israel Radio reported that advanced anti-aircraft platforms never before found in the region were also on board. [...]
According to the officials, the vessel carried advanced weaponry including missiles, and the incident was apparently 10 times in scope to the seizing of the Karine A ship intercepted in January 2002 off the coast of Gaza. That boat carried some 50 tons of military equipment including Katyusha rockets, antitank missiles, and high explosives.
