Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Flotilla without Incident
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Israeli naval commandos seized control of the boat Marianne on Sunday as it made its way toward Gaza as part of a Swedish flotilla. The IDF said that the seizure was made after exhausting all diplomatic channels. "When it became clear that the passengers had no intention to cooperate...it was decided to seize the vessel and to transport it to Ashdod port," an IDF official said. Two other boats were seen turning back and a fourth is believed to have turned back. The activists will be questioned and then deported.
