Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of
aid-carrying ships aiming to break the country's siege on Gaza,
according to a Turkish aid agency being quoted by Turkish media.
At least two people were killed and more than 30 people injured when
Israeli troops stormed the Freedom Flotilla early on Monday.
The flotilla was attacked when it was 65km off the Gaza coast.
Footage from the flotilla's lead vessel, the Mavi
Marmara, appeared to show armed Israeli soldiers boarding the ship
and helicopters flying overhead.
Al Jazeera's Jamal Elshayyal, on board the Mavi Marmara,
said Israeli troops had used live ammunition during the operation.
Earlier, the Israeli navy had contacted the
captain of the Mavi Marmara, asking him to identify himself and
say where the ship was headed.
