Signalling forceful interception in case of non-compliance, the Israeli Navy on Tuesday confronted a Libyan aid ship trying to breach Israel’s three-year-old blockade of Hamas ruled Gaza Strip and ordered it to divert its course. But the captain of the ship rejected the order, setting course for a new confrontation over the blockade.
Aboard the 92-metre vessel are a crew of 12 from Haiti, India and Syria, under the command of a Cuban-born captain, local media reports said. Most of the activists on board are from Libya, except for one Nigerian, one Algerian and one Moroccan, it added.
An Israeli Navy vessel warned the Moldovan-flagged Greek registered cargo vessel Amalthea — renamed Hope by activists — that it was entering a closed military zone. “The navy just began its process of trying to stop the ship,” an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson said adding, “At this time the process of communicating with them has begun.”

Meanwhile, Israeli military sources were quoted in the local media as saying that they will not hesitate to forcefully repel the efforts to break Gaza blockade ... The Israeli Foreign Ministry on Tuesday advised the defence establishment to wait until the ship approaches or enters the coastal Strip’s territorial waters before making any attempt to stop it, to avoid the risk of breaking international law.

Sink it, but slowly so all hands can find their life rafts.
Then pick up the stragglers, imprison them for a few months while you work out the paperwork, which can take some time.
Then release them into the loving arms of the Saudis, Greeks, Serbians, etc.

Drop a thousand pounder down the stack. That should stop it.

This will be a constant exercise now. They got some “good” publicity out of the Turkish incursion so now it will be the new version of Intifada. It will not stop until Israel starts sinking them as SOP.

“Libyan aid” ship with quite an assemblage of a crew.
Your solution is very kind and humane.

Why a warning torpedo?
Simply sink it with a NK torpedo and then claim that if the UN passes a Resolution you will start a general war in the area.
Worked for the NK’s.

Israel needs to destroy those ships. Why didn't they torpedo the first terror flotilla???? B/c they want to look good for N0bama thats why. Libya is a terror state. Reagan shouldve taken care of gaddaffi when he had the chance.
Israel divorce yourself from N0bama's America and do what you need to do. We are with you now and forever! GOD BLESS.
