IDF: Maritime Terror ‘Daily Occurrence’
The IDF’s Ashdod-based Navy unit deals with terrorist activity on a daily basis, security reconnaissance commander “D” said in the military’s Mahane magazine.

We see Grad rockets fired from Gaza and understand that each missile may harm Israeli civilians. This is a difficult situation, especially for soldiers who live in southern communities. Spending days at sea, they see missiles launched at their homes unable to contact their families.

The United Nations Palmer committee recently declared that the naval blockade is legal. It stated its conclusions in its report on the clash between Turkish terror activists and Israel Navy commandos on the Mavi Marmara ship in May 2010, when its six-ship flotilla tried to break the embargo. The IHH passengers, who had claimed to be unarmed and on a humanitarian mission, clubbed and kidnapped the commandos until the Navy soldiers were able to overcome the ship., Nine Turks were killed in the clash.

After the Mavi Mamara ship was brought to Ashdod, investigators discovered there was no humanitarian merchandise on board but that there were knives, two revolvers and equipment used to improvise lethal weapons. Confiscated videos showed IHH leaders encouraging their members to attack the commandos.

As with its piracy against the Gaza flotillas.

5. The terrorist organization IHH that runs the Gaza flotilla was a victim of piracy?
That's news to me. I knew that the IHH is outlawed in some countries and tried to smuggle weapons into Israel, but I never heard of any piracy issues.

3. Perhaps you should become more informed
maybe your sources of information are not thorough in their capture of news and information. Try reading from a variety of news sources.

7. yes you've posted about the current flareup in Gaza
but for this to have any veracity that flare up must continue is that what you hope for?

and what about prior to last week can you fill in the blanks for us?
