s'mthing isn't right about this whole scenario.

You put your "most advanced" AAW platform off a hostile coast, to guard your gunboats, then don't even turn on the AAW missile detection systems?

Hello?

The Israeli's are capable of some bone-head moves, just as we are, but they're also pretty crafty.

I smell a sucker trap. Two reasons. 1. The Iranians are now exposed as being in Lebanon, those lovable Peacable Persians... and 2. An identical missle sunk a freighter, but only did relatively minor damage to a floating beer can of a frigate.

Hrrmmmph.

Interesting. Maybe Southack's scenario is workable here. The Israeli ship blew the incoming to pieces, but the other missile hit the Egyptian ship, which may have been mistaken for another Israeli ship. Really baaaaaaad luck!
