This raw video of the first moments of Israel's attack on the Mavi Marmara in the early hours of 31 May suggests a number of things, according to what contemporaneous eyewitnesses are saying in the thick of the action. The video is in English, Turkish and Arabic with French subtitles.
-Israel launched an unprovoked attack on the ship in international waters, firing tear gas and live ammunition onto a ship carrying 600 civilian passengers.
-Israeli commandos were injured while descending onto the ship from helicopters.
-Passengers on the ship said they were aiding the injured commandos, who were safe, even as Israel pressed on with a military attack on a civilian ship.
-Passengers were stunned by the sheer violence of the Israeli attack, reported many injured people, collected live ammunition casings.
