A spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 10 people were killed in the Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla after attacking boarding soldiers, not 16 as previously reported, Turkey’s NTV reported May 31. The Israeli Defense Forces said 10 soldiers had been injured, one seriously, in the raid, Israel National News reported.
UPDATE: Amnesty International’s Director for the Middle East, Malcom (not so) Smart, states in a press release that “Israel says its forces acted in self-defence, alleging that they were attacked by protestors, but it begs credibility that the level of lethal force used by Israeli troops could have been justified. It appears to have been out of all proportion to any threat posed.”
Well, the judge and jury are already out sharpening their knives for Israel’s back. KGS
