The IDF seized an arms vessel heading toward Gaza with tons of concealed weapons. There was no resistance and the crew was not aware of the concealed cargo.

Navy soldiers seized a German merchant vessel transporting weapons from Syria to Gaza 200 miles west off Israel's coast on Tuesday. The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said the "Victoria" ship sailed under the Liberian flag and was carrying various types of weapons.

The IDF's Spokesperson's Unit said that the takeover was carried out swiftly and did not meet any resistance. The ship was later escorted back to the Israeli shore by Navy vessels for more scans.
