New evidence is challenging several claims against the Israeli navy surrounding the violent confrontation that took place on May 31st on IHH’s Mavi Marmara ship. The new information comes directly from passengers on the flotilla.

Video statements from two Mavi Marmara crew members released on Wednesday by the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) confirm that IHH operatives on the ship prepared to fight the Israeli navy two hours prior to the Israeli commandos boarded it. The IHH members used equipment they brought on board before departing Turkey to fight the Israelis.

Mehmut Tuval, the captain of the Mavi Marmara, said IHH activists had cut metal bars, steel and chains prior to the IDF takeover. Concerned about what he saw, Tuval threw some of the bars and chains into the sea.

Mavi Marmara chief officer Gokkiran Gokhan told investigators he was asked to look into commotion occurring near the life-boat section of the ship. He saw that bars and chains had already been cut off by IHH activists from the deck using rotary saws. When asked who the saws belonged to, he replied, “I don’t know, not the ship’s. There is no such equipment on the ship.”
