Soldatenglück

Die IDF-Dokumentation des Vorgehens durch die israelischen Marine

Die Marine der Isreal Defence Forces (IDF) halten an der politisch gewollten und befohlenen Seeblockade des Gazastreifens fest und enterte heute, diesmal mit Einverständnis des Kaptiäns und seiner Besatzung, das mit Hilfsgütern für den Gaza-Streifen beladene Schiff Rachel Corrie 35 Seemeilen vor der Küste Gazas. Die rund 20 pro-palästinensischen Aktivisten an Bord des irischen Frachters leisteten keinen Widerstand, die israelischen Soldaten mussten keine Gewalt anwenden. Das irische Schiff wurde in den israeliscehn Hafen von Aschdod geschleppt.

 

In an audio communication between the Israeli Navy and the seventh flotilla ship, the navy operator informs the flotilla that the ship is heading towards an area that is under a naval blockade. The Israeli navy requests that the ship dock at the Port of Ashdod, where they can unload their cargo and the IDF will deliver the goods through the land crossings after a security check. The seventh flotilla ship responds that they have received the message but do not respond to the request.

The ship was contacted 4 times and refused to respond to request. As of 12:45 5 June 2010 the crew of the ship permitted the IDF soldiers to board the ship. They boarded by land, no helicopters were used. No reports of violence.

 

Aerial footage from 5 June 2010 when the IDF naval commandos boarding the ship attempting to break the maritime closure of the Gaza Strip, they did so with the full compliance of the ship’s crew members. According to initial reports, there was no violence or injuries amongst the soldiers or the crew, as the use of force was unnecessary and no shots were fired.

The boat and its crew are being led to the Ashdod port and will be transferred to the custody of the appropriate authorities.

 

Israeli Navy ship operators question the Gaza flotilla ship about their next port of destination to which they reply “our next port is Gaza port, we will be there for 2 and half to 3 days over.” The motor vessel Linda is then requested to remain on the channel 1-6 for the navy can continue to communicate with the ship.

As of 12:00, 5 June 2010, the Linda (original name of the ship which was renamed the Rachel Corrie) had refused 4 requests by the Israeli Navy to dock at Ashdod Port where they could unload their aid materials and after a security inspection all goods would be transferred to Gaza via the land crossings.
