More prosaic explanation: Italy and Israel were/are collaborating on a Spy operation.

According to Hareetz, they were celebrating a success of a recent op, when supposedly a horrible 20 m/s wind blew them over and drowned some agents.

Yeah, riiiiight.

Somebody tried to took them out, it was a botched attempt, only 2 died , now they are covering tracks.

Speculation links the ITA/ISR operation to preventing Russia from procuring more Iranian weapons (ITA and ISR share an interest on that).
