Israel says it enforced a lawful blockade in the international waters where it seized a flotilla carrying aid and activists bound for Gaza. But the seizure likely violates international laws.

Freedom Flotilla has attempted to break through Israel's blockade multiple times, with only two ships ever allowed close to Gaza.
