IDF intercepts Gaza-bound ship

A French ship named “Dignity” carrying 17 anti-Israel activists — the only ship in the so-called “Freedom Flotilla” to set sail for Gaza — was intercepted peacefully by the Israeli Navy. According to the ship’s captain, when he first departed from Greece passengers claimed they were headed to Alexandria, Egypt. Only after leaving the port did they inform him of ther intention to sail towards Gaza.

Israeli marines boarded the French vessel and transferred the passengers to an Israeli ship where they received food and water and were visited by a doctor to determine their physical conditions. The passengers were then taken to Israel’s Ashdod port and were given the option to either leave Israel immediately and return to their home countries, or wait at a detention center for a judge to meet with them.
