Israel's ambassador to the United States and the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, referred in an interview with Galei Tzahal to the Israeli-owned ship that was attacked in the Gulf of Oman.

"It is no secret that the Iranians are trying to hit Israeli targets, but it is still impossible to decide who carried out the attack. As much as it is necessary to respond in fact, we will respond," Erdan said.
