The IDF possesses photos showing IHH activists carrying firearms on board the Marmara ship in May 2010, Yedioth Ahronoth reported.

At the time, the organizers of the flotilla insisted they did not have so much as pocket knives on board the ship. They later changed their version claiming that knives were the only weapons the activists carried.

Photos recently obtained by the Navy show a weapon hanging off the shoulder of one of the IHH members. Another photo shows a gun. It is as yet unclear who took the photos. One of the images allegedly shows MK Hanin Zoabi, who took part in the flotilla, standing next to an armed activist.

Navy commandos who took part in the raid later testified that the IHH men had at least two firearms and at least one of them was used to fire at the soldiers immediately after they descended on the ship. One of the commandos was hurt by a 9 mm bullet not used by the IDF.

5. Considering the world saw the IDF video clip before the bodies were cold
and confiscated all the other footage, I call bullshit. Theres no fucking way in hell given the negative publicity at the time that photos showing armed activists have been shelved until now.

Shows how desperate the zionists are becoming. Roll on september....
