Israeli officer: no flotilla ships will reach Gaza

A military officer warns that Israel will not allow any ships to break its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The latest Gaza-bound flotilla is to depart at the end of June from various European ports.

Last year, an Israeli raid on a similar flotilla left nine pro-Palestinian activists dead. Israel said its soldiers were defending themselves. Activists said they were attacked.

The officer said Israel has adopted new tactics since then in an effort to limit casualties.
