They carry weapons in Red Crescent trucks and in ambulances, too, so no big surprise. Deception is permitted in Islam. Good humintel brings good results.

Defense officials say weapons were bound for Syria, Hizbullah

Hundreds of tons of weaponry, ten times the size of the Karine A shipment of 2002, were seized in an overnight raid Tuesday by the Israeli navy, some 100 nautical miles west of Israel, officials said. The ship seized was sailing under an Antiguan flag.

The transfer of such large amounts of weapons, "is done in order to create a balance of terror with Israel," said Brigadier General Rani Ben-Yehuda, deputy commander of the Israeli navy, at a press conference.

Defense officials said the 140-meter long Francop,, captured near Cyprus, was carrying arms sent by Iran and destined for Syria and Hizbullah.

After several days of the Israeli military monitoring the ship, Navy Seals boarded it in the middle of the night. Suspicions were raised after the Seals uncovered certificates within containers that documented Iran as the point of origin for some containers, with Syria as the intended destination.

The ships' crew was unaware of the weapons on board, as the armaments were disguised as humanitarian aid.

"This is the third time this year that Iran is disregarding international law and United Nations National Security resolutions that forbid it to transfer weaponry," Ben-Yehuda said. He went on to say that the Navy regularly conducts operations hundreds of miles from Israel's shores to inspect ships suspected of carrying illegal weapons from Iran being sent to terror proxies like Hizbullah and Hamas.

Israel Radio reported that advanced anti-aircraft platforms never before found in the region were also on board.
