Israeli navy blocks Gaza-bound boats.

The Israeli navy has boarded two protest boats heading to Gaza to try to break the blockade of the Palestinian territory.

The military said forces moved after repeated calls for the boats to turn around were ignored. The boarding was carried out peacefully and nobody was hurt, it said.

The protest boats were the latest attempt by pro-Palestinian activists to draw attention to the five-year Gaza blockade, which critics say amounts to collective punishment. Israel says the blockade is vital......

So now what? What are the really reasons behind Israeli blockade to these shipt to Gaze? Israeli military issued a short video showing a naval official calling on the ships to turn around. "The Gaza area and coastal region are closed to maritime traffic as part of a blockade imposed for security purposes," the unidentified officer said.

You don't accept the reason that the naval official gave? What makes more sense to you?
