Two ships, an Israeli merchandise vessel and a Cypriot vessel collided just outside Israel's northern port of Haifa late Thursday, Israeli officials said.
The Israeli ship sank, and 14 of its sailors were rescued, but two were missing. Moshe Weizman, a spokesman for the Haifa coast guard, said searches were in progress. The Israeli ship was cut in two and sank after the Cypriot vessel crashed into it, Israeli media reported. The Israeli military sent helicopters, ships and doctors to help with the search and rescue operation.
