The Israeli navy boarded and seized the Estelle, on Saturday.
Attempts to talk the vessel and it's occupants from trying to run the blockade of Gaza, failed, leaving Israel no other option.
Everything occurred without shots being fired or even the use of force.
All thirty pro Palestinian activists, aboard the vessel, have been detained and given food and water.
The IDF issued a statement saying, "Any organization or country wishing to reach Gaza or move
humanitarian aid is able to do so legally and orderly at all times
through land passages and in coordination with the Israeli authorities".
Israel maintains a blockade, around Gaza, in hopes of keeping weapons out of the area.
