Assalamu alaikum to all readers, but a very sad day this is for me.
I have learned today that ships carrying aid on their way to the Gaza Strip have been attacked and plundered by Israeli commandoes who raided the civilian ships at around 4.30am local time, 65km off the Gaza coast.
The ships, dubbed as the 'Freedom Flotilla' were carrying aid cargoes including building material, food and medical supplies, as well as multinational representatives from humanitarian organizations including Malaysian Malay Muslims. Irregardless of the composition of the convoy, the despicable acts of pillage and murder had left 19 civilians dead and the whole watching world aghast.
The very fact that this heinous crime was done in international waters made it all more unbelievable. To set off a media spin, Israel had claimed that their commandoes were set upon by knives and clubs when they descended upon the vessels and had no option but to shoot.
However, their claims did not answer earlier questions on why the raid was executed before dawn, or why did the Israeli military jammed all communications during the operation.
As news began filtering out, it seemed that the commandoes had instead started their move by opening fire at the unarmed civillians aboard the Freedom Flotilla.
My prayers go to all my brothers who are being held captive as we speak, and may Allah swt provide them the strength to overcome this test.
Amin, and Wassalam.
