Thanks for the source … check out the map. It’s not like this guy is right on the shore line, it looks like the ship really had to hunt him down

Apparently the person steering the ship confessed that he was asleep.

so he had this in common with the house owner, who was woken up not by a massive ship near missing his house, but by the neighbors checking on him.

The article keeps mentioning this neighbor, but it looks like that’s the only house out on this little peninsula. Wondering how far away this neighbor was coming from.

About 100m. See pictures in article I linked to.

perhaps a top hat will follow. then an iron, a wee scottie dog, and a racecar.

and they'll all be chuff with $200s and get out of jail free cards.

Careful: this is a typical Israeli tactic to steal land.

Edit: oh, its a container ship, not a container.
