IDF: "Reasonable Force" Employed on Boat Heading to Gaza
(Times of Israel) On Sunday, the Israeli navy seized a boat and arrested 22 passengers who were attempting to breach the blockade on Gaza. Israel says the siege is necessary to prevent weapons from entering that can be used in attacks. The Israel Defense Forces defended its use of force during the seizure, saying "an investigation of the incident shows that during the seizure of the vessel reasonable force was employed to overcome the passengers' resistance." Norway called on Israel Tuesday to explain the seizure of the Norwegian-flagged ship.
