It would've gone, if these ships would've entered Israel's territorial water, since International law allows neutrilizing engines of ships who enter such areas without being allowed to do so by the government, it is actually something that happens in places like the US, not all the time, but frequently enough, not to mention that Israeli navy forces train to preform manuvers just like that, so that they can cause as little damage as possible.

Impressive!

Well, if they could've pulled it off, and inside Israeli territory, then that does sound like a much better solution.

I don't really blame the soldiers for opening fire. They do have a right to protect themselves. I blame the guys up the chain who failed to either execute your engine plan or at least put men with appropriate training and equipment on the mission.

It's not something exclusive to the Israeli navy, too, I think that the US navy, UK, and pretty much every modern army practice such manuvers.
