Pirates attacked and hijacked a ship Wednesday in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean today.

The ship was believed to have set out from Iran and later docked in Yemen and Sudan before sailing through the Suez Canal.

Its final destination was believed to be either Syria or Lebanon.

The pirates took the ship to their hideout at Ashdod.
