Israel’s navy boarded an Egypt-bound ship on the high seas today that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said was carrying weapons intended for “terrorist forces” in the Gaza Strip.

“The source of the weapons is Iran, which is trying to arm Gaza,” Netanyahu said of the cargo of the ship that was intercepted about 200 nautical miles (370 kilometers) from the Israeli coast.
