I came across this very interesting article about the USS Liberty incident; an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy torpedo boats, on June 8, 1967 during the six day war. I have added the Wiki page too. I was previously unaware of the incident.
