Israeli navy boards flotilla boat Dignité off Gaza From: Freedom Flotilla <http://www.freedomflotilla.eu/en/home/groups/viewdiscussion/2194-Small+French+boat+sets+sail+for+Gaza?groupid=4&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter> A small French boat that is the lone vessel left from the 'Freedom Flotilla' was involved in a tense stand-off with Israeli forces off the coast of Gaza on Tuesday before being boarded. The boat, called the Dignité Al-Karam, was trying to break Israel's maritime blockade of the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory. Originally there were 10 boats due to defy the blockade, but a number were damaged while still in port and the remainder were prevented from leaving by Greek authorities. According to the flotilla organisers, the ship was boarded at this location: View Flotilla <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=212059469427545728757.0004a86a932cf1617bfb6&ie=UTF8&t=p&ll=31.466154,33.722534&spn=2.30974,3.290405&z=8&source=embed> in a larger map This YouTube clip released by the IDF shows the boarding of the ship: From TsahalOfficiel <http://www.youtube.com/user/TsahalOfficiel> This tweet translates as: "The last coordinates of the Dignité-Al-Karama, in international waters off Gaza, before it was boarded."
