The Karine A Affair, also known as Operation Noah's Ark (Hebrew: מבצע תיבת נוח, Mivtza Teyvat Noah), was an Israeli military action in January 2002 in which Israeli forces seized the Karine A, which, according to IDF, is a Palestinian freighter in the Red Sea. The vessel was found to be carrying 50 tons of weapons, including short-range Katyusha rockets, antitank missiles, and high explosives.

Famous quotes containing the word affair:
“We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. The way is through daily ritual, and is an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
