As you know, the last time Israel has prevented two attempts by international activists to break the humanitarian blockade of the Gaza Strip and to deliver humanitarian aid there. The first ended in an international scandal. On the night of May 31, Israeli commandos seized the so-called freedom flotilla, consisting of six ships with several thousand tons for Palestine. As a result of the operation died nine people.
