HAIFA, Israel - Israeli Navy commandos attacked at least one of the six ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid for blockaded Gaza, killing 10 and wounding several dozen on board, according to an Israeli TV network and a lawyer for the activists' group.
Channel 10 said the final death toll could be higher as Navy commandos who boarded the convoy were still conducting searches and encountering often violent resistance from pro-Palestinian activists. Responding to accusations that Israeli commandos assaulted the ships guns blazing, Israel's Army Radio later said that passengers had tried to grab weapons away from soldiers boarding the flotilla.
The al-Jazeera satellite channel reported by telephone from the Turkish ship leading the flotilla that Israeli Navy forces fired at the ship and boarded it, wounding the captain.
The Turkish NTV network also reported an Israeli takeover with gunfire, and that at least 30 activists were wounded.

Long list of articles this weekend. Adding list to a few pings.
Good job. You are staying busy. I appreciate having these all in one place. Thanks.
Wow! Thanks!
In Marxist-Leninist terms the correlation of forces against Israel has never been stronger, especially with the US government support of Israel as uncertain at best.
If they were using children and ‘human sheilds’ MO; that pretty much says, ‘who’ these people were.
Bump.
Liar.
The socialist/jihadist/Turkish Obama Boats were blockade running. Blockade running is an act of war.
Nonetheless, the Israelis used completely non-lethal means, right up until their people were viciously attacked.
I hope they don’t make the same mistake again. “World opinion” is going to be against them no matter what they do anyway. In the scales of what really matters, the life of one IDF soldier is worth more than any of that.
If any shipping approaches Gaza and refuses to put into port for inspection, put it on the bottom.
This nonsense will stop immediately.
New tagline...
Yes, it is. Note the videos. And the passive approach the IDF took.
You bet I’ve noted it. Thanks.
Whatever assistance the filthy muslim Hussein administration provides, if any at all, is worth it.
This shows ONCE AGAIN that non-Muslims can NEVER trust a Muslim.
Was nobama really in Chicago...or was he aboard this ship? Enquiring minds want to know.
Those that care more about Israel than they do about the USA should move there and join the Israeli military.
The US has no common interest with Israel in the Israeli - Palestinian conflict. Your delusions do not count.
People attacking soldiers with pipes bats and shooting them with their own guns are unarmed. Amazing how isolationists quickly love our enemies and hate our allies.
What else would they say when they killed 10 innocent unarmed people. They are murderers. Israel is going to have a tough time spinning their way out of this atrocity. The world is lining up against them.
I dunno, Red. Something ain't right, right now, and I can't get a handle on it. The arrogance is palpable, but there's too much else going on.
1.)-Greece is about to go bankrupt, which will strain the E.U. to the max...
2.)-The Norks whack an S.K. ship, which puts them and the USA back on the verge of a '50s war again...
3.)-The palis, backed by the Turks, egyptians/saudis/God knows who, run a bunch of boats into the teeth of the IDF, guaranteeing that they'll get their asses kicked...
4.)-And Billy-Jeff, the impeached liar-in-chief, crawls out of the garbage can to alibi bambi/sestak in their bribery problems while bambi is summoned to Chicago during a pre-known thunderstorm.
Unless the oil leak in the G-o-M was intentional, it's just a sideshow of governmental ineptitude and tar, and will eventually be stopped at great expense.
The most bothersome to me is Billy-Jeff. Why is this pr*ck showing up again? The klintoon never do anything for free, and somebody always suffers.
Zero seems to have an awful lot on his plate right now ..................... FRegards
