Israeli Environmental Minister on Thursday accused Iran of being behind a major oil spill off the Mediterranean coast that caused the largest environmental disaster in Israel’s history, saying it was an act of “environmental terrorism.”
The spill, which resulted in the closure of all beaches along Israel’s coastline and caused catastrophic damage to marine life, was traced to a Libyan ship carrying Iranian oil.
The Environmental Protection Ministry on Thursday released photos of the Libyan-owned
Emerald showing the vessel anchored off Iran’s Kharg Island in January.
In a statement, the ministry said the
Emerald was smuggling 112,000 tons of crude oil from Iran to Syria at the time of the spill. The ship has since returned to Iran.

Eleven days after tar began to wash up on Israel’s Mediterranean shore, apparently as a result of a marine oil spill, the Environmental Protection Ministry on Monday called on companies specializing in mapping and cleaning up of the marine environment to help local authorities find ways of getting the tar off hard, rocky surfaces, under the supervision of marine ecology inspectors.
The call came as reports came in of more tar washing up onto beaches at Tel Dor, north Netanya, Emek Hefer, Gador, Michmoret, Nachsholim and Beit Yannai in the north and Nitzanim in the south.
