Evil Israelis rescue Egyptian ship after receiving SOS
2004-02-19
An Egyptian ship making its way northward from Port Said in Egypt in the direction of Syria on Thursday sent an urgent appeal for assistance to the Israeli navy. The ship’s crew sent the emergency signal after being caught in stormy weather, Israel Radio reported. The Israeli Navy said the ship identified itself as a transport ship carrying vegetables. The navy did not take chances, and sent a helicopter and ’Dvora’ gunship to inspect the Egyptian vessel. The moment the navy was convinced the SOS was genuine, and not an attempt to draw the Israeli navy into a trap, navy boats escorted the Egyptian vessel to Haifa’s port.
I’m guessing this won’t be reported in the Egyptian press.

#1   It'll be reported in the Arabic press, but with this added to the end:

The Egyptians were then led off the ship, and bathed. Afterwards they were butchered, their blood drained, and processed into matza balls.
