[2] On 29 June 2015 the Swedish-flagged vessel "Marianne" was intercepted by the Israeli navy[3] in international waters about 100 nautical miles from the Palestinian coast of Gaza.
However, eye-witness video published by Israeli Channel 2 TV shows people being tasered by IDF commandos.
[4] The Marianne was boarded by Israeli forces and taken to the port of Ashdod, while the rest of the ships turned back.
[5] Organizers of the flotilla have repeatedly stated the boat was carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza.
The activists supplied a picture with two boxes containing a single solar panel and a nebulizer and added that the boat was to be donated to Gazan fishermen.
