Israel fires on any ship that breaks the blockade of Gaza. They killed 9 people last time the aid ship Mavi Marmara tried to help. Israel will likely shoot this one too.

The Mavi Marmara was a civilian ship. This is an Indonesian military ship under orders from their government. Firing on this ship would be a serious geopolitical mistake, so Israel will probably do it.

*to Egypt

“This aid shipment will be headed toward El-Arish Port in Egypt, which will later be distributed to the victims in Gaza by relevant authorities, such as the Egypt Red Crescent.”
