Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla with Australians on board, organisers say | ABC NEWS

The organisers of a flotilla of ships trying to break Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza say Israel's navy has begun intercepting the vessels off the coast of Cyprus. There are more than 50 ships in the flotilla and 11 Australians are said to be among the crew. Last month the Israeli military intercepted ships in international waters off the Greek island of Crete and detained the crews, which the flotilla organisers described as an act of piracy.
