Reply #18: "Never bring a knife to a gunfight"

[Fozzledick]

unless your intention is to commit suicide.

IDF Navy commandos encountered fierce resistance early Monday morning as they boarded international aid ships on the way to Gaza to break the Israeli blockade of the Strip.

According to defense officials, upon boarding the ships the commandos were attacked by activists with rocks, knives and metal pipes.

The soldiers responded with crowd dispersion measures.

At one point activists succeeded in stealing the weapon of one of the soldiers, leading to an escalation in violence.

According to unconfirmed Turkish reports, 10 activists were killed and dozens more were injured.

At least 6 Israeli soldiers were injured in the fighting, 2 of whom are in moderate condition.
