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

Syria’s oil ministry reports that a fire broke out on an oil tanker near the port of Banyas, saying it was apparently attacked by a drone coming from Lebanese territory. 

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.
