2. On 8 June 1967, "a US Navy intelligence ship came under continuous deadly attack from Israeli forces in international waters." The attack "killed 34 crew members & seriously wounded 171 others." Israel later claimed the assault was a case of mistaken identity, but survivors & intelligence officials believe the truth was buried "to protect the US-Israeli relationship during the Cold War." https://www.historyskills.com/classroom/modern-history/uss-liberty/ #USPol #EUPol #IsraeliCrimes #USSLibertyAttack #1967War .
