I think it is two or three. Even then, it doesn't beat the investigation, the comments of other crews and more. Fog of war is a MASSIVE bitch. There has been multiple friendly fire incidents over the years. Even when modern tech fails.
Heck, flying Falcon BMS, with modern IFF simulation and I still managed to shoot a friend 2 days ago during the campaign.

Comment Approved: This is an attack more on Jester than Jews.
How? Remember, this is the 60s, limited radar was at play. Middle of a massive war. And the ship was outside the minimum coastal distance. It also looked like Egyptian ships.
That is exactly the point I made when I made the comments that the other survivors(more numerous) disagree with them. So, I prefer to base my position on the investigation.
Considering the amount of money Israel paid to them, yes... It sounds like the guy ran out of money and is trying to get more.
Because they were in a war and anything coming out of Egypt was a target. They could be a ship that could be heading to Israel to shell a coastal city and more. A ship could and can do many things.
