Israeli commandos were ordered yesterday to stop five ships carrying 700 supporters and thousands of tons of supplies and construction materials to the besieged city of Gaza.
Israel has warned that if the ships cross the 20-mile exclusion zone it maintains off the Gaza coast, they will be boarded and towed to the port of Ashdod.
The ships are expected to reach waters off Gaza today.
