After over a week at sea, our brave soldiers have reached Israel’s shores. They stopped Iran’s weapons shipment and kept Israeli citizens safe from terror. The Gaza-bound Iranian arms vessel Klos-C docked in Eilat on Saturday evening after a three-day voyage from its point of interception by the IDF near Port Sudan. Following the ship’s arrival, the military was slated to carry out further inspections of the weapons on board. Earlier Saturday afternoon, the two Navy boats that seized the Klos-C docked at the military port in Eilat. Early Wednesday morning, the Navy intercepted the cargo hauler, which the IDF said was carrying Syrian-manufactured, long-range missiles destined to be smuggled to terrorists in the Gaza Strip.The ship was found in the Red Sea 1,500 kilometers away from Israel and some 160 kilometers from Port Sudan.

The Klos-C’s 17-member crew was in Israeli custody and was set to undergo further questioning prior to their release within the coming days. „They are on the ship. They will remain with the ship. Given that they have no hand in the arms smuggling, they will continue on their way,” Israeli Admiral Oded Gur-Lavi told Reuters. The weapons found in the ship’s hull, including missiles with a range of 90 kilometers, will be inspected in the coming days and were expected to be displayed to the media on Monday. Missile ships and Navy commandos from the Flotilla 13 unit, backed by the air force, raided the cargo ship sailing under a Panamanian flag, which was carrying Syrian-manufactured M-302 rockets. The rockets originated in Syria, according to Military Intelligence assessments. Iran reportedly flew the rockets from Syria to an Iranian airfield, trucked them to the seaport of Bander Abbas, and shipped them to Iraq, where they were hidden in cement sacks. The ship then set sail for Port Sudan, near the Sudanese-Eritrean border, on a journey that was expected to last some 10 days.
