Close-Up Footage of Mavi Marmara Passengers Attacking IDF Soldiers

Video taken by IDF naval boat shows the passengers of the Mavi Marmara, one of the ships in the 'Free Gaza' Flotilla, violently attacking IDF soldiers who were trying to board the ship after having sent repeated requests for the boat to change course.

Large groups of passengers surrounded soldiers and beat them with metal poles and chairs, and threw one soldier over the side of the ship. Some passengers grabbed pistols from the IDF soldiers and opened fire. As a result of the attacks, seven IDF soldiers were injured, and nine of the passengers were killed.

The 'Free Gaza' Flotilla had publicly insisted on their non-violent intentions, however their violent attack on the IDF soldiers was clearly premeditated. They had knives, metal rods, firebombs and other items ready to use.

If those civilians try to shoot at Israel then yeah - they get war.

Israel will keep kicking terrorist asses. get used to that.

About civilians - Israel does its best. but don't expect them to go "Oh lets let terrorists shoot towards Israel as we don't want TheErcan86 to criticize us for accidently hitting civilians".
