Tracking firm reports fewer than 20 ships transited Strait of Hormuz over weekend

According to a report by the Times of Israel citing a maritime tracking firm, ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to fewer than 20 vessels over the weekend. The firm noted that the final figure could increase, as some vessels have switched off their transponders to obscure their locations. Such measures are typically taken during periods of regional tension to avoid precise tracking of maritime routes. No further details regarding the identities of these vessels or the specific reasons for disabling the transponders have been provided.
