SNIPPET: “Navy fighters on Monday morning took over vessels which tried to sail into the Gaza Strip and began transporting them to the Ashdod Port, accompanied by Naval Commando forces.

“This was not a humanitarian sail, but a violent provocation directed against us,” said Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Avi Benayahu. “We were attacked with clubs and long knives.””

SNIPPET: “Benyahu confirmed that the activists snatched one of the fighters’ weapons. “He was attacked by the crowd and they opened fire. During the incident, our fighters were in real danger, both from the clubs and from the weapons. They used crowd dispersal means, and when there was no choice – live ammunition. We don’t know if there were any other weapons on the ship, because the entire picture is unclear. We did not encounter peace activists on this boat.””
