Israeli warships attacked at least one of the six ships carrying pro-Palestinian activists and aid for blockaded Gaza today, killing at least ten and wounding an unknown number of people on board, reports said.

There are eight Irish nationals on board the flotilla of six ships, including three Irish activists on one of the boats, the Challenger II. They are Dr Fintan Lane, Fiachra O Luain and Shane Dillon. Attempts to contact their ship have been unsuccessful.
