Israeli forces storm Gaza aid ship

Abu Talib

Feeling low
The Israeli navy has stormed one of six ships carrying humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip, with at least two people reported killed.

Israel's Channel 10 private TV puts the death toll at about 14. Israel has so far declined to comment.

The exact location of the interception is unclear. Israel had warned the ships not to enter its territorial waters.

The ships are carrying 10,000 tonnes of aid to the Gaza Strip in an effort to break an Israeli blockade.

Turkish TV pictures taken on board the Turkish ship leading the flotilla show Israeli soldiers fighting to control passengers.

The footage showed a number of people, apparently injured, lying on the ground. The sound of gunshots could be heard. It is not clear whether the fighting is ongoing.

Al-Jazeera TV reported from the same ship that Israeli navy forces had fired and boarded the vessel, wounding the captain.

The Al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, "Everybody shut up!"

Organisers of the flotilla say at least 30 people were wounded in the incident.
"Provocation'

The six-ship flotilla left international waters off the coast of Cyprus on Sunday and was expected to arrive in Gaza later on Monday.

Israel has said it would stop the boats, calling the campaign a "provocation intended to delegitimise Israel".

An economic blockade was imposed by Israel after the Islamist movement Hamas took power in Gaza.

Israel says it allows about 15,000 tones of humanitarian aid into Gaza every week.

But the United Nations says this is less than a quarter of what is needed.

Hamas, a militant palestinian group that controls the Gaza strip, has fired thousands of rockets into Israel over the past decade.

Report; “15 killed, 30 wounded, After Army Attacks Freedom Flotilla”
Monday May 31, 2010 07:46 by Saed Bannoura - IMEMC & Agencies

In what activists have termed a 'massacre on the high seas', Israeli commandos dropped from a helicopter onto humanitarian aid ships bound for Gaza and began to open fire. Israeli media have reported that 15 have been killed and at least 30 wounded in the Israeli attack.

Senior Turkish officials held an urgent meeting to decide on the country’s stance on the Israeli attack -- initial reports have indicated that most of the killed and some of the wounded are Turkish.

Sheikh Raed Salah, head of the Islamic Movement in Israel, was also among the wounded.

Al Jazeera said that Salah suffered serious injuries.

Al Jazeera has reported that Israeli paratroopers and Navy personnel attacked the ships and opened fire in different directions at the passengers.

The Qatar-based Al Jazeera network managed to broadcast live images of the wounded activists after being attacked by the Israeli soldiers.

The Free Gaza Movement said on its twitter page that "At about 4:30 am, Israeli commandos dropped from helicopter onto deck of Turkish ship, immediately opened fire on unarmed civilians."

Israel is still threatening a larger offensive against the humanitarian ships and the activists on board.

The Freedom Flotilla was supposed to reach Gaza Monday morning, with thousands of tons of much-needed humanitarian aid, including medical supplies, school supplies and building materials.

The Israeli army had said that they would take the ships to the Ashdod Port to confiscate them and arrest the activists, but activists have reported that they believe they are being hauled to Haifa port.

Israeli blamed Turkey for the attack and claimed that the Turkish humanitarian-aid foundation (IHH) is connected to “terrorist” groups.

The army dropped paratroopers onto the ships and opened live fire at the peace activists, while the humanitarian aid ships were still in international waters.

The Israeli army reported that one soldier was wounded during the attack against the ships, although it is unclear whether the soldier was wounded by 'friendly fire'.

There is also a six-month-old baby on board the ship," Turkish humanitarian aid organization said.


Veysel Basar, a member of the executive board of the Human Rights and Freedoms (IHH) Humanitarian Aid Foundation, told the A.A that they established a crisis desk after Israeli navy intercepted a convoy of six aid ships.

"Before the interception, Israel cut our communication with the ships. There was a second source on board the ship and we received the video footage about the incidents from that source. In the video footage, we saw that Israeli troops boarded on the ship from a helicopter and boats. We also saw that the injured were grouped in the middle of the ship. We do not have certain information and controversial statements come from Israeli sources. There is also a six-month-old baby on board the ship," he added.

Allah sobhanahu wa taala told about the jews :

3:112 Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.
translation of the meanings of Quran

Those who slew the prophets can kill those who help the needy . orphans and poor very easily.

Assalaam walaikum,

There are requests that people gather around the Israeli embassies around the world. The EU has posted that they will investigate the situation. The Australians want to know what happened to the two Australians. etc.

Insha'Allah this may be the wake-up. We can not give up hope or be disappointed.

Make dua brothers and sisters..and start donating for the next round.

Assalaam walaikum,

First, it is the Zionist State of Israel. There are many many Jews who are not Zionists. There are many Jews who fear and believe.

Brothers and sisters these people are heartless because they possess no heart. They have told us they want world domination. What is the vaule of human life if you want to own the whole world for yourself. Every grain of sand you want in your hands. They do not fight the label that they are evil.

What we have to do is understand we are dealing with evil. Now, we have to reach deep within our faith and reconcile who and what we are; do we as Muslims allow our brothers and sisters to be killed by the named evil enemy and remain complacent; do we as an ummath make a simple decision and understand we are willing to accept the responsibility of our actions.

The least we can do is make dua, constantly and consistently, for it is the weapon of believers.

Terrorist state...

First of all,the people on those ships should be thanked and celebrated for their courage in support of those who suffer in Gaza.While we sleep in our warm ,comfy beds they have chosen to do something other than talking.
My condolances to the families who have lost their loved ones.May Allah forgive the ones that lost their lives and treat them with His Mercy.Amin.

Terrorist state of israil are doing what they do best which is killing innocent people.They are expected to act like that but time is changing and i hope and believe that sooner or later they will get what they deserve and i think this incident will be a turning point.

Allah is the best of planners.

the spineless and good -for- nothing politicians of the world should be boycotting and sanctioning Israel, not gaza.

May Allah unite the ummah

May Allah reward these people on the convoy that died with Jannah
