Reports: Israeli ships attack aid flotilla

HAIFA, Israel — Two TV networks are reporting that Israeli warships have attacked the six ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid for blockaded Gaza, killing at least two and wounding an unknown number of people on board.

The Israeli military refused to comment on the report.

The al-Jazeera satellite channel reported by telephone early Monday from the Turkish ship leading the flotilla that Israeli navy forces fired at the ship and boarded it, wounding the captain. The Turkish NTV network also reported an Israeli takeover with gunfire and casualties.

The al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, “Everybody shut up!”
