Turkish activists say new flotilla set for Gaza to challenge Israeli blockade
A Turkish aid group said on Monday it would send ships again to Gaza to challenge the Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory, some four years after Israeli commandos stormed its flotilla of Gaza-bound ships and killed 10 people.
The incident wrecked diplomatic ties between Turkey and Israel, once close Middle East allies but whose relationship has been tense since late 2008 over a previous Israeli operation against Gaza.
