Zionist naval commandos took over on Tuesday the French ship which was on its way to the besieged Gaza strip.

Israeli occupation military reported they have met no resistance, adding that they steered the yacht toward the port of Ashdod.

Al-Karama (Dignity) ship, had been surrounded since morning by at least three Zionist navy ships while still in international waters, around 40 miles off Gaza’s shore.

An Israeli official said all 15 foreigners aboard the yacht would return home by the end of Wednesday.
Israeli Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Haddad said Wednesday one person already has flown out.
The yacht is a remnant of the international flotilla that had planned to break the blockade last year but was met by Israeli hostility.

The flotilla organizers had wanted to mark a year since the last flotilla, an attempt to reach Gaza that ended in bloodshed, and to highlight the restrictions on the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza.
Last year, nine Turkish activists were martyred when Israeli occupation forces raided the “Freedom” flotilla.
