Hostile Israeli forces attacked the Freedom Flotilla humanitarian aid convoy headed towards the Gaza Strip.
At least 19 people were killed in the attack and dozens of others were wounded, as elite Israeli commandos boarded the aid ship and opened fire on the aid workers, whom they later claimed were “terrorists” with ties to al-Qaeda.
Live ammunition from Israeli helicopters was fired at the six boats comprising the Flotilla. In the surprise attack, five of six ships were boarded by Israeli naval units.
The humanitarian aid convoy was, however, still in international waters.
Despite the rather absurd claim, and the rhetoric defending the attacks, Israel maintains that it will deport all the survivors who “cooperate” with them, and insists that only a handful have been detained so far. None has been charged as a terrorist.
Israel has seized all the aids, which included toys and medical supplies, including a large number of electric wheelchairs.

A delayed posting of this terrible incident but nonetheless, something that everyone should be aware of!
