• The Gaza Flotilla Incident - Not a dull moment in the Middle East - on May 31, 2010, teams from Shayetet 13 raided on a flotilla of six civilian vessels carrying activists who were attempting to breach the IDF maritime blockade of Gaza and refused to change course. Shayetet 13 operators boarded the boats from fast attack boats as well as fast roped from IAF helicopters. As the little resistance was expected, most operators were only lightly armed with non-lethal paintball guns as well as handguns for backup. However, when the operators boarded the biggest of the six vessels - the Mavi Marmara - the situation quickly escalated when the first operators on board were attacked by dozens of rioters (see video 1 and 2), and were forced to use live fire in order to regain control. In the aftermath, few operators were injured, few activists were killed and the operators were able to take control over the vessel.
