Regardless, you can already see the damaging effect it is having on Israel's international relations, could be a big backlash against them now.
Apparently they were 30km's away from Gaza. The blockade imposed by Israel is illegitimate anyway. Can you imagine France declaring "we are going to impose a blockade on England" and then proceeding to block anything coming over the channel and then shooting people dead if they then felt like it? It wouldn't fly in a million years and yet Israel is allowed to do so?
