 |  موضوع: Gaza aid ship taken to Israeli port  السبت 5 يونيو 2010 - 21:28 | |
| Israeli soldiers have boarded an aid ship bound
for the Gaza Strip and forced it to head to the Israeli port of Ashdod
instead.
The Israeli military said in a statement that troops boarded MV
Rachel Corrie on Saturday after the activists aboard the ship
ignored warnings to divert to Ashdod.
"There was no violence or injuries amongst the
soldiers or crew ... and no shots were fired," the statement said.
Jacky Rowland, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Ashdod, said the Rachel
Corrie arrived at the port, escorted all the way by Israeli
military vessels.
"The aid will be taken off and inspected," she
said.
"It is not clear how much of it will be taken to Gaza. We can expect
the passengers to be deported fairly promptly."
Activists on board the Malaysia-funded Irish ship were attempting to
break the siege of Gaza imposed by Israel, five days after its
troops killed nine activists while raiding a flotilla of aid ships
carrying humanitarian aid for the coastal Palestinian territory. | |
