A report on Monday said that Gaza Arabs had dispatched a boat that will attempt to break the IDF’s sea blockade of Gaza. This marks the third time in recent weeks that Gaza activists have tried to break the siege using this tactic. In previous situations, the IDF interdicted the ships and turned them back, and it was expected that the same thing would happen in this situation as well.
