JERUSALEM The Israeli military has released documents and photos that it says proves Iran was behind the massive shipment of weapons intercepted last week.
Israel says the ship seized was carrying 500 tons of Iranian-made weapons to Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon. The ship had dozens of containers with Iranian markings on it.
On Wednesday, the military released what it said was a manifest stating that the ship originated in Isfahan, Iran. Another document showed contents that were allegedly handled by "Islamic Republic of Iran's Shipping Lines." Israel also showed what it says is a customs form stamped by Iranian Armed Forces.
Both Iran and Hezbollah have denied the Israeli claims.
