JERUSALEM - Israeli commandos seized a ship Wednesday that defense officials said was carrying hundreds of tons of weapons from Iran bound for Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas — the largest arms shipment Israel has ever commandeered.
The Israeli military said an Iranian document was found on board, showing that the arms shipment originated from Iran, although the paper was not shown to reporters. Rear Admiral Roni Ben-Yehuda, the deputy Israeli navy commander, said that despite its size, the shipment of weapons was "a drop in the ocean" of arms being shipped to Hezbollah.
"It's a cargo certificate that shows that it was from a port in Iran," military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said. "All the cargo certificates are stamped at the ports of origin, and this one was stamped at an Iranian port."
The Israelis boarded the ship before dawn in the waters near Cyprus. Israel has long accused Iran of arming its enemies.
Ben-Yehuda told a briefing that "hundreds of tons" of weapons were found on the ship, giving a much higher estimate than an earlier one of more than 60 tons.
Containers had Iranian shipping codes in English — "IRISL" on one side and "I.R. Iranian Shipping Lines Group" on the other. Some of the hundreds of crates lined up on the dock were open, revealing dark green missiles with English-language designations painted in black.
But hours after the seizure, Israel had not provided proof that the arms were meant for the Lebanese guerrillas.
Israeli military officials said the ship's journey started in Iran, and it arrived a week ago in Beirut. The next stop was Damietta, Egypt, where the weapons were loaded, they said. Ben Yehuda said the ship was headed for Latakia, Syria.

Coming from MessNBC, of course they have to take the gratuitous swipe at Israel. Uhh, few modern militarys including Syria's would even use the Katusha rocket which is old technology now and if they did could purchase them directly from Russia, not from Iran. This has become a weapon of choice for Hezbollah and this shipment was likely meant to replenish stockpiles lost in recent sabotages of Hezbollah ammo dumps that destroyed huge numbers of Hezbollah armaments. Iran has to keep them supplied with these rockets because they're counting on Hezbollah to rain them down on Israel in case Israel takes out their nuclear sites. The evidence may be circumstantial, but it's compelling.
Israel should T these captured rockets up on Hezbollah.
Have Obama and Hillary demanded that the ship be returned yet?

Whaaa....
I thought I heard in the distance... ‘Yippeeee, free weapons!’
President Barack Obama should request immediate face-to-face talks with Mahmoud Ahmadinajad. Only Obama has the natural charm and a million-dollar smile that can melt the heart of the Holocaust Denier. Only then, by being humble and meek, can Obama get the peace treaty that he so clearly wants.
In Tehran, Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem dismissed Israeli allegations the ship carried arms.
"Unfortunately, some pirates sometimes take action in the name of inspection and prevent the sailing of commercial ships," he was quoted as saying by the state IRNA news agency during a visit Wednesday. "This ship was carrying goods from Syria heading to Iran and was not carrying weapons making materials."
It was unclear why al-Moallem said the ship was headed in the opposite direction of that claimed by Israel. Syrian officials were not immediately available for comment in Damascus.
obama: “The joooos acted stupidly”.
He needs the Temple rebuilt first. Maybe that styrofoam deal he got immaculated in would do: Just disassemble it, shipt it to Israel, sign the treaty, and start beheading conservatives back home. Easy.
