Two Israeli warships cross Suez Canal
Egypt's al-Ahram is reporting that two Israeli warships
crossed the Suez Canal on Tuesday.
Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram reported Tuesday that two Israeli warships crossed Egypt's Suez Canal. According to reports, the two vessels and a French ship left Port Said in the north. The destination of the ships is unclear. The IDF has yet to comment on the report.
The two warships, INS Lahav and INS Yafo arrived at Port Said accompanied by a French vessel "Imidisi", where they joined a fleet.
The Suez sailing supervisor, Ahmed el-Manhali, said that the crossing took 14 hours, and that the ships were accompanied by a Suez authority tow ship for security purposes.
Hmmm.

Turkish mystery weapon to neutralize Israeli ships
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims to have a
mystery weapon that will neutralize Israeli ships at sea. That's the only conclusion that can be drawn from this.
While Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is scheduled to arrive in Egypt for a historic visit, daily newspaper Sabah on Monday reported that the Turkish Navy is preparing to deploy three warships in the Mediterranean Sea, in order to "safeguard the freedom of navigation."
According to a report, Turkish navy echelons decided that if one of its ships crosses paths with an Israeli vessel outside of the latter's territorial waters, it will be instructed to come within 100 meters of the ship and neutralize its weapons system.
It may be nice not to shoot until you can see the whites of their eyes, but somehow I don't think any Turkish warships are going to get anywhere near 100 meters away from any Israeli warships.
Heh.

Breaking: Iranian warships to pass through Suez Canal tonight
Israel Radio has just reported (6:00 pm Wednesday) that Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has condemned the news that two Iranian warships will pass through the Suez Canal on Wednesday night on their way to Syria.
In June 2010,
American and Israeli warships crossed the canal heading toward Iran.
In February 2010,
Israeli warships crossed the canal.
In July 2009, an
Israeli submarine crossed the canal.
I guess more than the regime has changed in Egypt.
What could go wrong?
