Dozens of M302 missiles were found aboard the Klos C, a Panamanian flagged cargo ship.
The missiles originated in Syria, were flown to Iran where they boarded the Klos C, were then taken around the Arab Peninsula, and were headed for Gaza.
Had they reached Gaza, they would have given Hamas more weapons to terrorize Israel with.
IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said that a "complex, covert mission" had been responsible for the success in stopping the missile shipment.
US intelligence sources had aided in the mission, and military forces were prepared to assist Israel, if required.
