Five Israeli boats force Spirit of Humanity to turn back in international waters

"At about 1 am GMT Free Gaza boat - Spirit of Humanity - which was in international waters was surrounded by 5 Israeli boats. They questioned the 21 civilians on board the Free Gaza, asking them their nationalities and the purpose for their trip, which was to take 5 tons of medical supplies.

They gave 3 warnings that if they didn't turn back they would be fired upon (all this in international waters) and effected dangerous manoevres that put the safety of the boat in doubt as there was a high risk of collision. "
