Government minister Gila Gamliel reported that Iran bore responsibility for an oil spill off Israel's shores that caused serious damage when the liquid came inwards, and Libya seems to have some part in this too:
The recent oil spill off Israel's shores that caused massive ecological damage was caused by a Libyan ship sailing from Iran to Syria, Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel said on Wednesday, describing the incident as "environmental terrorism."Truly atrocious, and it could take quite a while to clean things up fully. It's an example of just how vicious Iran is becoming now.
The country's investigation had focused on an unidentified ship that passed about 50 km (30 miles) off the coast on Feb. 11 as the likely source of what environmentalist groups are calling an ecological disaster that could take years to clean up.
"This pollution has an address," said Gamliel on Wednesday.
"Those who are responsible must pay the price. Our nature has been harmed. Our animals have been slaughtered as a result of a ruthless environmental criminal," she said.
"There is definitely someone who wanted to cause harm. Either the pollution was done intentionally in the first place or was caused by an unreported malfunction. A ship was sailing dozens of kilometers off the Israeli coast in our exclusive economic zone," Gamliel said. "This is a crude oil tanker named Emerald, Libyan owned and operated, which carried cargo, in a pirated manner, from Iran to Syria. The ship flies the Panamanian flag," the minister said.

If it is also Libya would it not suggest there may also be some Turkish involvement given their presence in Libya, ambitions to dominate the east Mediterranean / revive Ottoman empire and the fact Turkey also hosts Hamas on its territory?
