Israeli Navy Doctor: We Saved Flotilla Rioters' Lives

(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - Following the publication of the Turkel Committee report into the events surrounding the Turkish flotilla to Gaza, senior officers told the navy's official website that each and every thing the commandos did was necessary. "The Marmara incident was heroic," said Lt.-Col. D. "I am proud to be associated with an operation like this, in which people operated with true heroism. Our mission was to tie up six ships and bring them into harbor - and all six ships were in the Ashdod harbor by morning." The officer in charge of the doctors, Lt.-Col. Dr. A, said, "I can't remember a navy operation that involved so many senior doctors and the amount of medical equipment." The medical team estimates that "the lives of seven rioters were saved and medical complications were avoided in the cases of 12 rioters. In total, 55 wounded passengers received different levels of medical care."
