"On Tuesday (November 3, 2009) a special Israeli naval force detained and boarded the Francop, a merchant ship flying the flag of Antigua, about 100 miles west of the coast of Israel and destined for the Syrian port of Latakia. Hidden among the dozens of other containers on board, and disguised as civilian goods, the ship contained thirty-six shipping containers with 500 tons of weaponry en route to the Hizbullah terrorist organization in Lebanon. A total of about 9,000 mortar bombs of different types were seized, along with about 3,000 Katyusha artillery rockets, 3,000 recoilless gun shells, 20,000 grenades and over a half million rounds of small arms ammunition."
