Better luck next time.

(JPost) — The Navy successfully boarded two Gaza-bound boats attempting to break the blockade of the Gaza Strip on Friday and lead them to Ashdod Port, the IDF spokesman’s office said.

The Canadian Tahrir and Irish Saoirse were boarded after they failed to heed Israeli instructions to stop their progress towards Gaza. According to the IDF, nobody was injured during the boarding of the boats.

The activists were turned over to police and immigration authorities upon their arrival at Ashdod.

As the two-boat Gaza flotilla approached the region, the Navy made first radio contact with the activists. The IDF informed the vessels that their current course was leading them toward a naval closure off the coast of Gaza, which is in line with international law.
