They've already been using drones to harass Israeli affiliated ships and even seized one. They don't have to be able to completely stop shipping, just to make it riskier and more expensive to do. That puts direct economic pressure on Israel. There's a good article talking about this in more detail here https://new.thecradle.co/articles-id/14235
But how do they differentiate shipping as to what is Israeli affiliated or not?
There are publicly available databases on ships with pretty detailed information, including their travels. For a fee there are services that provide cargo information as well.
What would stop those services from simply removing the manifests and data of Israeli related ship?
I imagine a certain amount had to be public so the west knows who's ducking sanctions and can prevent import tax evasion, etc.
Edit: meaning it's catch 22. Hide the manifest and not be able to dock anywhere. Or makeb it public and let your enemies know what you're carrying.
Also, it might be the export countries who log the data to show everyone that they're being honest?
