UPDATE: A second flotilla was intercepted unexpectedly in the early hours of last night, much further out than the first - it was still 120 nautical miles from Gaza. Even people on board thought it was probably a false alarm until the very last minute. Eight sailing boats were boarded between 4.30am and 5.30am local time. A ninth larger ship, carrying nearly 100 journalists and medics, was intercepted shortly afterwards. This means 145 people, including politicians, journalists and medics, have been kidnapped by Israel AGAIN in international waters and are now in detention. Based on what we know from last time, they are probably currently detained within their own boats, being sailed slowly back to Ashdod port by dozens of (sea sick and inept) Israeli soldiers. The first 24 hours after interception were among the most brutal for the majority of people on board the last flotilla. They were forced to kneel for five hours with cable-tied hands, kicked, shouted at and denied access to lawyers. Updates as they come.
