JERUSALEM, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Israel Thursday monitored two boats that left Turkey Wednesday and headed for Gaza to break the Israeli-imposed blockade, officials said.
Israeli security officials told Channel 1 television the boats likely would reach Gaza waters by Friday but Israel will not permit them to reach port, instead offering activists the option of docking and offloading at Ashdod or an Egyptian port from where goods would be transferred overland to Gaza.
