The Israel Navy intercepted the "Francop" cargo ship, which was laden with roughly 500 tons of weapons hidden amongst civilian cargo. The 36 weapons containers were sent from Iran and meant for the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon.

#3 While the publicity value of doing this is one thing, in future they should carefully remove the weapons, then let the ship continue on to its destination. This would create distrust and consternation on the receiving end.
Other things would be to substitute the same kinds of weapons that have functionality problems, or just hide little homing devices on them, that once a week, at irregular intervals, would give off a brief signal.
You remember those Hezbollah weapons dumps in southern Lebanon that spontaneously just blow up?

#4 If we had a CIA that could keep its mouth shut, Moose, we'd remove the weapons crates and substitute them with crates of junk weapons.
One or more of which would blow up when handled.
