In this article it is written:
"there were no reports of Israeli naval activity"

This is not true according to Yvonne Ridley who wrote here

"I am told that leaving Gaza may prove to be slightly more tricky than arriving
... the psychological warfare between us and Israel has begun already and last
night the Zionist State`s naval gun boats sailed into our view off the Gazan
coast."

We are told there will be missile testing."

The boats should have been out of Gazan waters and in to International waters by
now. I received an email message via the rise-up list 3 1/2 hours ago which was
a message from Paul Larudee titled "Journey Hour 1" Here is the text of the
beginning of that email:

"We`re a little over an hour into our return trip to Cyprus and, unlike
when we came in, there are several Israeli naval vessels in sight. We seem
to be the focus of their activity, the center of their attention so to
speak. However they`re keeping a careful distance, not really approaching
us. We expect to reach the twelve-mile limit around 7 PM this evening, and
then cross over into international waters.

The live-streaming video which is supposed to be working from the ships is NOT
working. It is now 11 Gaza time. That communication from the boats is now six hours old. From what I can garner, there has been no more communication from them which has been made public. Haartz should really check it`s reporting when they write that there is no Israeli naval presence. May those on board these boats be safe.
