Israelis Intercept Irish Ship Bound for Gaza

The BBC reports that the Israeli's have intercepted another ship attempting to reach Gaza:

An Irish-owned aid ship attempting to break the blockade of Gaza has defied Israeli orders to change course, Israel's military says.

The MV Rachel Corrie was instructed to dock at the Israeli port of Ashdod but has not complied, Israel says.

Israeli naval vessels are shadowing the ship but troops have not boarded.

It comes days after Israeli commandos stormed a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Clashes on board left nine people dead.
