At least 10 people have been killed after Israeli commandoes attacked
a fleet of ships carrying aid to Gaza Strip, a BBC report has said.
It remains unclear whether the shooting took place by the commandos
once they were aboard or whether the flotilla was fired upon when
the three Israeli vessels made contact with the flotilla about 123
kilometers off the Gaza coast, says another report.
Qatar\'s Al Jazeera Television said the clash happened in international
waters off the Gaza coast after activists ignored Israeli order to
turn back.
The ships are carrying 10,000 tonnes of aid to try to break a
long-standing Israeli-led blockade.
Israel says its forces were attacked by activists when they got on
board the Turkish vessel.
