The Antigua-flagged ship Fracop, intercepted by Israeli forces on Wednesday, was released yesterday by Israeli officials and given permission to continue its route. As soon as the ship reached port in Beirut, Lebanese officials detained and questioned the crew.

The Lebanese army issued a statement:

The Francop ship entered Lebanese territorial waters at noon today and, upon its arrival off Beirut port, the navy in cooperation with UN naval forces searched the vessel. Military intelligence began interrogating the crew on the motives for the seizure of the vessel while the concerned authorities… will take all the necessary measures to ensure it does not carry banned goods.
