The Israel Navy late Tuesday night turned away an Iranian ship that was attempting to dock in Gaza, an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson confirmed Wednesday. The ship was carrying 200 tons of food and medical supplies, according to Iran Radio. After being turned back by the Israel Navy, the ship then tried to unload the supplies in the nearby Egyptian port of el-Arish, but was prevented from doing so by the Egyptian Navy. On Tuesday, Iran Radio reported that the Israel Navy had blocked the ship's passage. According to the report, the ship departed from the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas 13 days ago.

200 tons of what?

This is another opportunity for people to scream about Israel and "Zionazis", but I'm sure that none of these commentators will have read the third paragraph, which states that "the ship then tried to unload the supplies in the nearby Egyptian port of el-Arish, but was prevented from doing so by the Egyptian Navy".

So it seems that in addition to Zionist nations, neither do Arabic nations believe that this Iranian ship was carrying only "food and medicine".  More likely it was bringing weapons and ammunition for Hamas.
