'Largest flotilla yet' en-route to Gaza
'Largest flotilla yet' en-route to Gaza
Ships from Britain, Morocco, Qatar to rendezvous in Syria, sail toward el-Arish Port in northern Sinai Peninsula; activists plan to enter Gaza through Rafah Crossing, deliver humanitarian aid

"Ovenden also denied claims that activists aboard the Mavi Marmara carried weapons that were used against the soldiers during the raid.

"I witnessed the man one meter in front of me being shot in the leg, a man 50 centimeters to the right of me being shot through the abdomen," Ovenden said of the experience.



"Neither of them had anything in their hands. There were no Israeli commandos within the immediate proximity. They were shot from above, so it was simply unfeasible -- in that incident I saw – for anyone to claim they were in fearing for their lives when they rang out those shots," he added."

1. In my view, they were probably shot at from below.
By the methods of the actions.

2. What gives you that impression?
The man with them on the boat says the opposite. He would probably have the better opportunity to judge where the shots came from?

3. You speak of above as a location in world.
I was commenting on spiritual location, based on method used.
