Santorini affair
The ''Santorini'' was a fishing boat used for weapons-smuggling, which was captured in May 2001 by the Israeli Shayetet 13 Naval Commando Unit.〔(Weapon ship sent to the Palestinian Authority and caught, 8.05.2001 )〕〔(Weapons Found on 'Karine-A' and 'Santorini' )〕 This was the first ship caught in an attempt to smuggle weapons to Palestinian-controlled territories.〔 In May 2002, three of the ''Santorinis crew members were convicted of attempting to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip.
== Operation ==
The ship’s crew was led by Captain Div Va'iza, a Lebanese citizen, and included two of his relatives, Hussein Va'iza and Fahdi Awadwas. The three were professional smugglers;〔 a fourth crewmember was Va’iza’s son. The crew had been hired by Ahmed Jibril's Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command〔 and were asked to smuggle arms into Gaza. The crew refused the operation as too risky, but agreed instead to smuggle the arms to a location near the Egyptian Sinai coast, where they would be met by agents of the PFLP-GC. The crew made three failed attempts to rendezvous with the agents in Sinai, and were captured on their fourth.〔
The Santorini had left northern Beirut On May 6, 2001, carrying weapons packed in barrels. Their plan was to drop the barrels off-shore, anchored at a pre-determined spot for later collection by Sinai-based agents.
A surveillance plane spotted the suspicious ship, and a Shayetet 13 commando team boarded the 40-ton ship near Rosh Hanikra, just off the coast of northern Israel’s border with Lebanon.
