## An Israeli inquiry into the seizure of vessels attempting to breach a Gaza
blockade last May has cleared the navy of wrongdoing.

After months of deliberation, state-appointed investigators ruled that
[**Israeli**][1] naval commandos acted with legitimate restraint when they
shot dead nine Turkish activists after intercepting a flotilla trying to reach
Gaza last May.
The dead Turks were among a small group that used clubs and other crudely
fashioned weapons to attack Israeli forces as they abseiled onto the deck of
the vessel, the MV Mavi Marmara.
In their 245-page report, the commissioners laid the blame for the violence
solely on this group, writing: "By clearly resisting capture, the Mavi Marmara
had become a military objective."
