Israeli protesters arrested – Crowd tries to block soldiers from entering Gaza
A group of Israeli protesters have held a demonstration along the border with Gaza, trying to block soldiers from entering the besieged Strip. They say they are angry about Israel’s interception of an international flotilla that was trying to bring aid to Gaza.
Since Wednesday, Israel’s naval forces have stopped dozens of boats carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza, detaining about 500 activists from more than 40 countries.
Netanyahu ordered drone attacks on flotilla aid boats moored in Tunisia: Report
Prime Minister Netanyahu directly approved an illegal drone attack on two vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla docked in Tunisia, US outlet CBS News reports, citing American intelligence officials briefed on the matter.
The officials, who spoke to CBS anonymously as they were not authorised to speak publicly, said Israeli forces launched drones from a submarine and dropped incendiary devices onto the boats, which were moored outside Tunisian port Sidi Bou Said, causing a fire.
No one was killed or injured in the attacks, which targeted a Portuguese-flagged vessel and a British-flagged vessel in separate incidents on September 8 and 9.
The use of incendiary weapons against civilian populations or objects is prohibited in all circumstances under international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict.
The Israeli military and Netanyahu have yet to comment.
This week, Israeli forces intercepted more than 40 civilian boats and arrested about 500 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla as they attempted to break Israel’s siege on Gaza.
