The Indian navy has deployed a ship and a patrol aircraft in the Arabian Sea following a hijacking attempt onboard a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier, it said Friday.

The vessel sent a message on the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations portal indicating that it was boarded by five to six unknown armed people on Thursday evening, the navy said in a statement.

The navy diverted a ship deployed for maritime security operations to assist the vessel, the statement said. It did not identify the vessel, but media reports said it was the MV Lila Norfolk.

A ship was also boarded in Somalia yesterday.

A plan by Israel's military to mount an internal investigation into the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that triggered the Gaza war is drawing criticism from rightist government ministers, who want a more sweeping review of policy towards the Palestinian enclave.

The armed forces chief, Lieutenant-General Herzi Halevi (Russian), informed the security cabinet of the planned inquiry during a briefing on Thursday evening. The briefing was meant to be closed but some of it was aired by Israeli media, including criticism by several ministers who were present.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The assault by the zionist occupation forces on Palestinian worshippers and preventing them from reaching Al-Aqsa Mosque for the thirteenth consecutive Friday is a Nazi arbitrary behavior and a blatant attack on the sanctities and freedom of worship.

We call upon the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League to assume their responsibility in protecting Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque from the danger of Judaization, and to prevent the occupation’s violations against our Islamic and Christian sanctities.

Corresponding to: January 5, 2024 ADHamas:

🔻Al-Quds Brigades: We bombed "Sderot", "Niram" and the settlements of the cover with a missile barrage.

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: We killed many Israeli soldiers, including generals, but the enemy hides its casualties

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: We used to only strike military targets, but sadly it has become necessary to target 'civilians', in some situations, but the term 'civilian' must be taken with a grain of salt when talking about Israel

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: Hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers have been deplaced, and this causes a great psychological effect on the enemy

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: People who claim that the resistance started this agression, have not read history, in fact they don't even seem to have a basic school level education

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: If the Israeli settlers want at least some semblance of remaining alive, they must ask their government to stop the agression on Gaza

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: We now have a historic opportunity to liberate every inch of Lebanese territory, including the occupied Shebaa farms area

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: I will repeat this point, if you target us in Beirut, which you did by killing martyr Arouri, who was my dear friend, we will not respond to this in any ordinary way, this will definitely not go unpunished

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: Ukraine is failing, and the Americans are under pressure, and they are hesitant to respond to the resistance due to them being occupied in multiple wars

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: Today, Iraq has a historic opportunity to get rid of the occupying American forces

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: The Americans use ISIS as an excuse to stay in Iraq, but ISIS is an American creation, Trump admitted this

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: Some people blame the resistance for putting their nations in danger, but they are doing this because Israel and the United States are a much greater danger

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: After all that Yemen has done in the Red Sea, where is Israel? Where is the mighty Israeli Air Force, who used to bomb with impunity?

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: The Yemeni people are people of resistance and revolution, who hold great enmity against Israel

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: Countries refused to even join the American coalition against Yemen, this was pathetic

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: If it was not for the security situation, and I could go back in time, I wish I could be there with you in person, to kiss your heads and to be with my people

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: If Israel defeats Gaza, South Lebanon will be next, this battle today is not only about Palestine

🇱🇧 Nasrallah: I conclude by adressing our courageous fighters, who are passionate for martyrdom, who are in love with God and Jihad
