I wonder what sort of weapons it was carrying, but maybe this was a distraction of some kind

It could very well have had no weapons. Their plan might be to first “break” the blockade with precedent. Then, when there are lots of ships getting thru, have random ships carrying the contraband.

While they usually try to smuggle in weapons ( the interdiction of which being why Israel keeps her so- called “blockade” right) it’s just possible this charade was a pure propaganda effort. Any legitimate non- military cargo continues to flow into gaza by land through Israel, of course. Tons and tons and tons of it. Far more than those silly little boats could ever carry anyway

The Norwegian captain on this Swedish fishing boat claim they had solar panels and stuff like that in the cargo, no weaponds of any kinds, hope Israel bills Sweden and Norway for the cost of all the trouble they have made
