I am so old that I can recall when people said we ( Jews) were smart.

They never, ever, never ,should have boarded.

Navy Commandos simply have to disable the vessels.

Every vessel runs raw water to cool at least a part of their engines.

Even modern enclosed systems draw raw water.

The water is drawn up through a sea cock ( inlet ) on the bottom of the ships hull.

All they need to do is seal or clog that inlet.

The vessel operators will have to turn off their motors or fry them.

Then divers can then cut the propeller blades or shafts.

OR

Just pull the boats far out to sea each night.

EVERYTHING THE PLO does is for press.

This removes the photo ops.

I've been around ships my entire life. I'm not sure how one "clogs" the fresh water intake of a 2,000 ton ship at sea while underway. Other than a torpedo, the only way to do what you're suggesting - stopping a ship underway - is to disable the rudder. This has inherent risks as a errant shot could easily hit something other than the rudder.

The IDF is between a rock and a hard place. It's tough to stop a ship without some collateral damage, and in this case, that means protesters deaths.
