# From the BBC: IOF issued initial request to ship to identify. No warning to the ship. Not boarding ship yet. No contact for hour and a half. less than a minute ago via web

http://twitter.com/...

Update 1:36am:

There really hasn't been much solid for a while, here's a recent-ish piece of news which confirms that the IDF had already fired upon the Mavi Marmara well before that video that the IDF released cuts in showing the mean ol' boatpeople attacking the lamb-innocent highly-trained heavily-armed commandos -- http://www.hybridstates.com/...

Not that it makes any difference to reasonable folks who realize it frankly doesn't matter who did what first when Israel was illegally boarding a flagged vessel in international waters to prevent a humanitarian aid mission from benefiting a group of people who they were actively oppressing in the first place, but still, it outright dismisses one of the main silly talking points against the Flotilla.

Update 1:25am:

Al Jazeera reports that the Navy is insisting they go to Ashdod. Passengers say 'no'. Navy says they will drag boat to Ashdod. Not possible less than 20 seconds ago via web

http://twitter.com/...

Update at 1:12am again courtesy of wwjd:

Greta Berlin from free gaza said that they have not been in touch with the ship in 30+ mins. They had a dedicated satellite phone line on board the ship that had a frequency the Israelis didn't know about, but since they can't get through now, she believes they've found it and ended it. So, she doesn't know what's going on with the ship now. :(

Update 12:31am EST:

Mary Hughes Thompson from Free Gaza Movement was just on the phone with the BBC and she said that she just spoke with the people on the Rachel Corrie. They are about 20 miles from Gaza. They didn't go past Israel this time, they went up the coast of Egypt. She said when they go down along the coast past Lebanon and Israel, they are usually intercepted. She believes going up the coast of Egypt was a strategic decison made by the captain because the Israeli ships would have been waiting for them at one location and they, instead, went in another direction. She said the maneuver is allowing them, at this point, to proceed unimpeded towards Gaza. She too reiterated that they will not resist if they are boarded. by wwjjd on Fri Jun 04, 2010 at 09:26:39 PM PDT

BBC News has it. Israeli troops 'intercept' Rachel Corrie Gaza aid ship. It is unclear whether there was any violence. The activists on board the Rachel Corrie had said they would not resist.

With apologies to cai for using that comment without explicit permission.

I'm not sure how to rearrange this diary so it's not just copying and pasting a twitter feed.

Again, news seems very limited at this moment, because that's the way the IDF wants it.
