a bit strange explanation. If it really were Mossad, they surely would know that various navies were looking for the ship so the Israeli approach would have been eliminating the missiles and leaving the ship.
What is the point of staying in the ship when knowing Russian navy is looking it..
The Israelis were not captured.
The “hijackers”, claimed to be “Estonians” by the Russians, is pure disinformation. According to the Russians, the ship contained timber, but according to the former head of the Estonian defence forces and the Danish and Norwegian press, it contained cruise missiles.
The Russian story of the “Artic Sea” is how Moscow is embarassed and tries to create a fake story to divert embarrassing questions.
The mossad would not have hijacked the ship, they would have sent in Shayetet 13 and they would have attached limpet mines to the hull.
