Israel says it will turn away Gaza 'Freedom Flotilla'

Israel says it will block a fleet of nine ships carrying international activists and supplies from reaching the Gaza Strip.
The Freedom Flotilla, organized by the Free Gaza group, left from ports in Ireland, Greece and Turkey last week and is scheduled to arrive Thursday off the coast of Gaza.
Israel has offered to transfer the humanitarian aid, including food, clothing and construction materials, to Gaza through an approved Israeli port.
