Times Of Israel: Syria reports fire on oil tanker, says it was apparently attacked by drone

The ministry didn’t identify who the tanker or drone belongs to, but the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the ship was Iranian.

The UK-based group has had its credibility questioned in the past. The report follows other recent reports that Israel has been targeting Syria-bound ships carrying Iranian oil and weapons.
