The British oil tanker Marlin Luanda, which was attacked by the Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea on Friday, has no ties to Israel, Israeli security sources told Ynet on Saturday.
According to the sources, the tanker was not en route to Israel and is not under Israeli ownership. Earlier, the U.S. military announced that while the ship was damaged by an anti-ship missile, no crew injuries were reported. A U.S. Navy ship provided assistance to the tanker. (Itamar Eichner)
