Israel says seized Gaza-bound rocket shipment from Iran


    JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli navy seized a ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday that was carrying dozens of advanced Iranian-supplied rockets made in Syria that were intended for Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip, the military said.

    It said the Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel, the Klos-C, was boarded in international waters without resistance from its 17-strong crew, and would be brought to port in Israel within days.
