      Actually came across it, here’s the supposed real reason:

      Ambrey assessed that the vessel was mistakenly targeted based on outdated publicly available information linking the vessel to the United Kingdom.

      “This appeared to be five months old but was still listed as UK-affiliated on a public maritime database,” the report said.

      Maybe they’re not only supporting Palestinians against israeli oppression but also the Ukranians against Russian Oppression. The unbeatable moral highground.

      In all seriousness, no idea. If I were to guess they have a green list and someone forgot to put them on. See my newer comment
