An update on this morning's report about militant activist skin-diving fishermen out for a stroll on the Mediterranean Sea:In a message sent to media in Gaza, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, a militant offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction, said the four dead were part of a marine unit training in Gaza's waters. Palestinian naval police said two people are missing. The Israeli unit responsible for intercepting the boat is the same naval commando group involved in last week's raid on a flotilla of aid that attempted to break the Israeli blockade against Gaza.The rest of it is here.
Worth noting that the Aqsa thugs are not Hamas. Their alliegance is pledged to Mahmoud Abbas, the political head of the Palestinian Authority and of Fatah.
If, as it appears, this is a sign of a power struggle among several contenders to see who - from among the PA, IHH, Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah, Turkey and other peace-loving humanitarians - can cause the greatest mischief to the Israelis, then it's a very unwelcome development.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
