Credit: Reuters/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa JERUSALEM (Reuters) - About 15 people were killed on Monday when the Israeli navy intercepted ships carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists toward the Gaza Strip, Israel's private Channel 10 television said. World As a diplomatic furor took shape, especially with long-time Muslim ally Turkey whose flag some of the ships were flying, an Israeli minister said: "The images are certainly not pleasant. I can only voice regret at all the fatalities." Israeli Trade Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer gave no details of what Channel 10 said were 14 to 16 deaths. But he told Israel's Army Radio: "I can also understand ... how soldiers are coming down and are set upon with batons and tools. "The moment someone tries to snatch your weapon, to steal your weapons, that's where you begin to lose control." The bloodshed thwarted Israel's hopes of avoiding casualties -- which could hurt its diplomatic relations, especially with Turkey, where media reported ministers were meeting. Israel's Western allies have also been critical of its Gaza embargo. Turkey said it "strongly protested" against the military action, calling the interception of the ships unacceptable and cautioning in a statement issued by its Foreign Ministry that "Israel will have to endure the consequences of this behavior." Israel has said it was absolutely determined to maintain its blockade of the Islamist-controlled Palestinian territory of 1.5 million, citing fears that arms supplies could reach Hamas by sea. It has previously halted such activist ships, although some others have reached Gaza before. Greta Berlin, a spokeswoman for the Free Gaza Movement which organized the convoy said she was told of 10 dead by an Israeli lawyer for the group but had had no contact with the ships. "How could the Israeli military attack civilians like this?" she said. "Do they think that because they can attack Palestinians indiscriminately they can attack anyone? "We have two other boats. This is not going to stop us." Israeli media said some marine commandoes were slightly hurt. Captured ships were sailing toward Israel's southern Mediterranean port of Ashdod, media said. TURKISH ROLE The convoy set off in international waters off Cyprus on Sunday in defiance of an Israeli-led blockade of the Gaza Strip and warnings that it would be intercepted. The flotilla was organized, among others, by a Turkish human rights organization. Turkey had urged Israel to allow it safe passage and said the 10,000 tonnes of aid the convoy was carrying was humanitarian. Turkey, long Israel's best Muslim friend and a key ally in a hostile Middle East, was highly critical of Israel's attack on Gaza 18 months ago, in which 1,400 Palestinians were killed. Relations between the two states are now distinctly chilly and bloodshed at sea will do nothing to improve them. France24 television aired video of a woman in a Muslim headress holding a stretcher with a large bloodstain on it. Below her lay a man, apparently injured, in a blanket. CNN showed pictures of a commando apparently rappeling down a rope and clashing with a man wielding a stick. Other TV images showed what appeared to be rubber boarding launches. The United Nations and Western powers have urged Israel to ease its restrictions on Gaza to prevent a humanitarian crisis. They have been urging Israel to let in concrete and steel to allow for postwar reconstruction. Israel denies there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying food, medicine and medical equipment are allowed in regularly. It says the restrictions are necessary to prevent weapons and materials that could be used to make them from reaching Hamas. (Writing by Alastair Macdonald, Additional reporting by Michele Kambas in Nicosia and Tulay Karadeniz in Ankara bureau) World Comments See All Comments (31) | Post Comment May 31, 2010 12:35am EDT The nation of Israel appears to have learned nothing in 50 years. Another disgraceful act with their ‘big stick’ indiscriminate and violent policy against the indigenous people of Palestine. JooJoo Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:12am EDT 11 civilians unarmed killed and 60 injured, according to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper. This was premeditated act – from the air and the sea, with prisons and hospitals readied before hand. This is an act of desperation. There no indication that such a state is likely to continue to exist for long – certainly not like this. Richard_Burton Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:19am EDT i wonder what Mr. nobel “peace” prize winner, obama has to say about this? let’s see what the the land of “freedom and justice” for all, the U.S has to say about this. can they finally let go of pet israel?? probably not sidrock23 Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:24am EDT what would have happened if this in-humane act carried out by the Israel govt was against a US aid ship ? maybe the likes of Bush would have declare it a rouge government and declared war ? but then again the Israelis are always protected aren’t they ! sam_melbourne Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:36am EDT During the Second World War, Nazis were also destroying buildings with red crosses, hospitals. Israel in Gaza behaves this same and should be punished for spreading terrorism. michalluk Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:36am EDT in 1967 israel attacked the USS Liberty and 34 american servicemen were killed and hundreds of others wounded. think about it, the U.S didn’t even have the testicles to stand up to israel after its own servicemen were killed, u think they will stand up to them now?? haha, fat chance sidrock23 Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:36am EDT What did these ‘activists’ expect to happen? Before setting out, they knew that there was a naval blockade. They were warned to turn back or be escorted to Ashdod and they refused. They resisted when their boats were boarded. Did they think that Israel would just say, “Oh well, if you’re determined then OK, then you can enter” ? Every country in the world would respond in a similar way to people trying to enter a naval blockade. Hopefully the ‘activists’ that promised to try again next week will have understood the folly of their ways. redbourn Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:41am EDT israel recently reported that is sending 3 submarines off the coast of iran?? nuclear armed submarines. Iran has warned israel not to do it. assuming that israel doesn’t, which they won’t. iran has a right to destroy them. am i correct redbourn??? so in a few weeks, when we hear iran has blown up 3 nuclear armed submarines in the persian gulf. thanks for clearing that up redbourn. sidrock23 Report As Abusive May 31, 2010 1:42am EDT also redbourn according to your logic, next time israel crosses into lebanon or sends their jets for fly overs, hezbollah has a right to shoot them down. so the next time we hear about hezbollah taking israeli military prisoners, u’ll be in full support of it. sidrock23 Report As Abusive See All Comments (31) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
