A statement by the Turkish Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned Israel’s attack on the Freedom Flotilla.
“This attack against civilian activists, including Turkish citizens and lawmakers, is a severe violation of international law,” the statement published on the ministry’s website said.
The attacks took place in international waters, roughly 120 nautical miles (222 kilometers) from the Palestinian enclave.
According to the tracker of the Gaza-bound Freedom Flotilla Coalition's (FFC) Thousand Madleens, the Israeli army attacked all nine ships of the mission.
"The Israeli occupation commits a war crime against in international waters. We will not stop ... The genocide must be stopped and the siege broken," the International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza said on a social media post.
