Aridi also stressed that Julia's voyage to Cyprus was not in violation of UN Security Council resolution 1701 and the vessel would undergo a technical checkup before it sails from Tripoli.

The Lebanese government is responsible for its decision, Aridi added.

However, Israeli military sources warned that it would be very easy to take control of Iranian and Lebanese ships because they are from countries which are at enmity with the Jewish state, adding Israel would deal firmly with them, according to Ha'aretz.

Two Iranian Red Crescent boats also plan to depart for the enclave.
