They are targeting ships flagged under 3rd party nations, which is iirc something like 70% of ships.

I believe a majority of ships actually fly “flags of convenience” which is where the owner of the ship registers it in a different country than the one they are from. It’s done as a way for owners to avoid regulations and taxes.

Yeah because the blockade is against all shipping going to or docking in Israel. Not just shipping owned by Israel.
