Search reveals Al Hamed bring shiploads of "cement" to Syria for months
By: Israel Insider staff

The Vessel Al Hamed, suspected of bringing in nuclear material or equipment from North Korea -- reported to be the proximate cause for Israel's recent airstrike -- has been a frequent visitor in the Syria port of Tartous, arriving on a monthly basis with shipments of "cement" since June.

Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA followed up on a report in Sunday's Haaretz that identified the vessel Al Hamed as having visited the Syrian port of Tartous on 3 September, searching for the same vessel using the cache option of the Google search engine. The results indicate that the same vessel also visited that port at the end of June and July, both times listing cement as the commodity it was carrying and Tripoli Lebanon as its previous port of call.
