Followup to the mystery of the exploding Gaza boat
| The juice were the proximate cause of the premature explodulation: |
Israel's Navy halted Monday a Palestinian attempt to attack its shores using a booby trapped boat a few hundred meters off the borders with the Gaza Strip, an Israel military spokesman stated. Israeli gunboats fired at a Palestinian fishing boat 300 hundred meters off the Israeli-Gaza borders which resulted in a huge explosion, the Israeli spokesman told Radio Israel, adding that the boat was obviously loaded with explosives.
Israelis fired at the boat as it was so close to the Israeli waters of Ashkelon and of which Palestinian boats are banned from sailing at, he said. He added that no one was spotted on the boat and that Israelis are investigating the incident.
No Palestinian group has claimed responsibility yet.
