Egyptian Vessel Reaches Syria After Accidental Hit By Israeli Missile
Cairo MENA in English 1654 GMT 15 Jul 06
DAMASCUS, July 15 (MENA) - The crew of the Egyptian vessel "Moon Light" earlier hit by Israeli navy by mistake have reached the Syrian sea port of Tartus.
The ship was hit by a missile launched by an Israeli gunboat at the wee hours of Saturday while nearing the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli.
The 12-member crew are slated to return to Egypt soon.
The hit vessel had sent a distress signal and an Egyptian cargo ship "Al-Marwa" went for help.
"Moon Light" was laden with a cement shipment for Syria.

It is not clear if she sank or was broken up but I'm sure she never sailed again.
