SNIPPET: "Israeli naval patrol identifies Palestinian fishing boat moving towards Israel; boat, apparently unmanned, explodes as it nears coast; no injuries, damage reported. IDF sources believe incident was botched terror attack"
SNIPPET: "A Palestinian fishing boat exploded as it neared the Israeli coast from the direction of Gaza.
IDF sources estimated that the booby-trapped boat was activated by remote control and meant to explode near an Israeli Navy vessel or a coastal community.
A naval patrol followed the boat for about an hour and spotted no people on board. As it was several hundred meters off the Gaza shore and heading north the boat exploded.
None of the soldiers was injured and no damage was reported."

It was a Passover work accident. They went *poof* during Pesach so they went to Eretz Chametz in a handbasket.

Thanks, Cindy. Drone boat technology is getting a little too easy to achieve and a little too autonomous as well.

Yes, a boat without anyone on board is definitely “fishy”... LOL..
Besides that, a boat that explodes is most likely not a “fishing boat” in the first place...

Now we must prepare for the possibility of rescuing hostages from Somalian pirates that have rigged the boat to explode, a large vessel with enough force to annihilate anything close by.
They would basically set up a trap.
After watching an episode of NCIS I am beginning to wonder just how secure our own sealift ships are from internal sabotage.
If muslims cannot use aircraft then they will use something else, like boats.

Iranian-backed Hamas thugs failed on land, and now foolishly think they can also use the sea to export their Islamic terrorism. The Israeli Navy will swiftly deal with their threats.
