Israel’s military said Sunday that a cargo ship it intercepted in the Red Sea last week carried 40 rockets with a range of up to 160 kilometers (100 miles).
The shipment was orchestrated by Iran and was intended for Islamic militants in Gaza.
Israel’s military said Sunday that 40 rockets of the type M-302 , with ranges of up to 160 kilometers (100 miles) — or enough to reach Israel’s main cities — were unloaded from the vessel.

In addition, the military said it counted 181 mortar shells on the ship, along with some 400,000 rounds of ammunition.
After the interrogations of the 17 ship crew from Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia, the ship was unloaded and will be allowed to leave the Port Ilat.
