Two basic mistakes, according to the Israeli military. First, an officer overlooked a message detailing the vehicles in the convoy. Second, a spotter saw something in one car – possibly a bag – that he thought was a weapon. Officials say the result was the series of Israeli drone strikes that killed seven aid workers on a...

Worldwide maritime laws are a fucking byzantine hot mess, so there’s no guarantee it was insured.
Honestly, imo the best thing to do is have individual harbors create rules that force ships to have insurance if they want to dock there. No insurance = zero docking privileges.
