Conflicts: The flotilla of international aid on the way to the Gaza strip buckled

Action between Israel and the Palestinians [19659008] In the face of violent tensions between Israel and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, an international auxiliary flotilla from Gaza approached the sealed Palestinian territory. The first ship of the flotilla could reach Sunday the waters of the Gaza Strip, as announced Saturday by e-mail the co-chairman of the Jewish Union for Peace, Pierre Stamboul, l & # 39; AFP news agency. According to Stambul, some 40 militants from 15 countries aboard the three ships of the Gaza flotilla himself did not board the ship. With the blockade of the Gaza Strip by Israel, as in previous years, the Israeli army should stop the ships involved and escort them to an Israeli port.

Meanwhile, a crew member of a small fleet vessel said in a video posted on the Internet that a "problem" had occurred that was preventing the vessel to continue. He gave no details.

Israel has blocked the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip for more than a decade. Since the end of March, violent clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli army have occurred at the border of the Gaza Strip. At least 157 Palestinians have been killed since.

A little over a week ago, an Israeli soldier died from Palestinian gunfire. Among other things, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has warned of violence against a "new destructive conflict".

In May 2010, the Israeli army stormed the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara. Nine Turkish activists were killed. Another Turk died in a coma after nearly four years.
