In Turkey, a government inquiry has faulted Israel for the deadly attack on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last year. Nine people were killed when Israeli troops stormed the Mavi Marmara ship on May 31. The panel’s conclusion came one day after an Israeli panel cleared the Israeli government and military of any wrongdoing. The chair of the Turkish panel, Mithat Rende, said investigators had found proof Israeli troops opened fire before storming the ship.

Mithat Rende: “In this report, we established that, unfortunately, the Israeli forces started firing at the passengers on the upper deck from the helicopters before landing on the upper deck. And this caused, of course, the first — probably the first two people who were killed were killed as a result of the fire from the helicopter.”
