The deaths occurred during close-quarter fighting between individuals travelling in the Mavi Marmara – one of six vessels in a convoy that attempted to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza on 31 May – and members of the Flotilla 13 (Shayetet) naval special forces unit.
Later that day the ship was brought into the Israeli port of Ashdod, where searchers found "a supply of weapons including knives, Molotov cocktails, detonators, wood and metal clubs, slingshots and rocks, large hammers and sharp metal objects", according to the Israel Defence Force (IDF). "In addition gas masks were found, pointing to the prior intention of the ship's passengers to use violence against IDF soldiers who would then be forced to use riot dispersal methods."
