10 more flotillas

Israel has sent a message to European leaders to prevent further attempts to break Israel's blockade of the Gaza Coastline. At least 10 vessels are expected to try to sail to Gaza by October. Security forces are already preparing for the first of these vessels expected from Lebanon soon. Israel has asked EU countries to prevent flotilla vessels from leaving from their ports and to prevent their citizens from taking part. Two vessels from Iran organized by the local Red Crescent with support from the regime in Tehran are also reportedly being sent soon. According to information obtained by the security establishment, the flotillas aim to take advantage of Israel's diplomatic straits following the lethal raid on the last flotilla on May 31 in which nine activists were killed on the lead vessel.
