Ships carrying explosives en route to Haifa from Ravenna revealed.

In a significant development, two explosive containers were intercepted at the port of Ravenna, Italy. The mayor of Romagna city, Alessandro Barattoni, made an announcement regarding the incident.

The mayor, along with Valentina Palli, the president of the Ravenna Province, and Michele de Pascale, the president of the Emilia-Romagna Region, participated in the announcement. The three public administrators are also shareholders of Sapir, the company that operates the main terminal in Darsena San Vitale.

A letter was sent to the heads of Sapir, requesting the inclusion of an article on respect for human rights and peace in their code of ethics. The letter also asked Sapir to evaluate all possible legal actions to prevent the transit of weapons. The president of Sapir communicated the terminal's unwillingness to transit the intercepted containers.

The interception occurred following a report from some dockworkers. The containers were classified as explosives, raising concerns about their intended destination. The letter sent to Sapir further asked them to consider the humanitarian implications of allowing such containers to pass through.

Barattoni stated that continuing to turn a blind eye to the daily happenings in ports that contribute to the massacre in Gaza is inhumane. He observed that the terminal's unwillingness to transit the containers is good news, but it highlights the need for clear and firm positions from the Italian Government.

The exact name of the president of Sapir was not disclosed in the search results. However, the incident has sparked a debate about the role of Italian ports in the global supply chain and their responsibility to prevent the transit of weapons destined for conflict zones.

The intercepted containers serve as a reminder of the potential dangers lurking in our ports and the importance of vigilance and ethical responsibility in the management of these vital infrastructures. The incident is under further investigation, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
