700 pro-Pali activists on the boats - including an elderly Holocaust survivor. That’s outrageous.

Standard ops here is to disable the engine room with large caliber rounds (.50 or 40mm) then have them towed in should the vessel disobey their orders. Highly doubt these vessels will be sunk.

If the don’t heave to, put a couple of rounds into the engine room and stop them. As an alternative, tangle a cable in their screws, and then board and tow them in.
