The operators boarded the boats from fast attack boats using ladders as well as fast roped from IAF helicopters. As the IDF was excepting little resistance, most operators were lightly armed with non-lethal paintball guns as well as handguns for backup. However, when the operators boarded the biggest of the vessels - the Mavi Marmara - the raid quickly escalated when the few operators on board were attacked by dozens of rioters (see video 1 and 2), and resulted to usage of live fire in order to regain control. In the aftermath, few operators were injured and few activists were killed and the operators were able to take control over the vessel.
