This story covers 2 ships: standard.co.uk/…/red-sea-missile-attack-uk-us-cen… The Unity Explorer is UK owned and flagged in the Bahamas, while the Number 9 is Panamanian flagged, Bermuda and UK owned.
So apparently this
Saree also identified the first vessel as the Unity Explorer, which is owned by a British firm that includes Dan David Ungar, who lives in Israel, as one of its officers. The Number 9 is linked to Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement.
The Sophie II’s owner, Kyowa Kisen of Imabari, Japan, told The Associated Press that the ship’s crew were safe and the vessel did not sustain serious damage. Managers for the two other ships could not be immediately reached for comment.
Israeli media identified Ungar as being the son of Israeli shipping billionaire Abraham “Rami” Ungar.
exists, but yeah that’s weak. Can’t find anything for the other one, but if this is their standard for “Israel-related” then I can see why everyone is angry about it.
Yeah that’s exactly it, half the time when they claim it’s Israeli owned it’s like there’s one Israeli person in the parent company that doesn’t have anything to do with that ship. At this point though I think they’ve all but given up making that claim and just target whatever they like, then maybe come up with excuses after the fact. And they’ve directly attacked US warships now, which is what the US strike was in response to.
