Estelle ship to Gaza |
(Scroll down for video) Israeli forces stormed a ship that approached the Gaza strip today, according to reports.
The Israeli navy took control of an international pro-Palestinian activist ship in the Mediterranean Sea on Saturday to stop it from breaching the joint Israeli and Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip, an army spokesperson said.
She said no one was injured when the Israeli Marines boarded the SV Estelle, a three-mast schooner and was diverted to the Israeli port of Ashdod after they ignored orders to move away from the Palestinian enclave ruled by Hamas.
The Estelle, carrying 30 activists from Europe, Canada and Israel, allegedly had humanitarian cargo on board, such as cement and children’s books, a mission spokesperson said on Saturday.
Activists on board could not be immediately reached for comment on the interception, which took place in international waters as they were approaching Gaza.
Greece, five of whose citizens were among the activists, said in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in Athens that all Estelle passengers were in good health.
Citing the need to stop arms smuggling to Hamas and other Palestinian militants, Israel maintains a tight naval blockade of Gaza. Israel and neighboring Egypt also limit land traffic to and from the territory.
