An explosion occurred today (Sunday) in an oil tanker off the coast of Syria - according to local sources in the country and the Russian news agency "Sputnik.” Documents posted on social media show smoke rising from the ship, which was sailing in the area of ​​the port city of Banias. According to official media, a fire broke out in one of the ship’s engines during maintenance work. Last month, a similar incident was recorded off the coast of Banias in western Syria. According to sources in Damascus, it was a UAV, apparently an Israeli, that attacked the tanker from the direction of Lebanon. Israel did not respond to reports, but it has been blamed for airstrikes in the Syrian coast, center, and Quneitra in the Golan Heights in recent days. The covert naval battle between Israel and Iran was recently exposed, which, according to foreign reports, was intended to disrupt oil smuggling from Iran to Syria while circumventing the sanctions imposed on the two countries. In recent months, Iran has begun to respond to the damage to its vessels, in at least three different incidents in which Israeli-owned ships were attacked in the Gulf region, the most recent of which was near one of the United Arab Emirates principalities. There were no casualties in all of these incidents, and the damage reported was minor. Source: Walla News! 🇮🇱 IF YOU LOVE ISRAEL - SHARE NEWSRAEL! 🇮🇱
