<p class="article">The  attack in May 2010 by Israeli forces on the Turkish ship, Mavi Marmara,  in which nine Free Gaza activists were shot dead, was met with  worldwide condemnation.</p>
<p>The ship was part of a large flotilla carrying humanitarian supplies and  international activists which was prevented from reaching the people of  Gaza.</p>
<p>Israel claimed at the time it was acting in self-defense by preventing a breach of its siege of the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>In response to international calls for an independent inquiry into the  killings, Israel set up its own commission of inquiry &#8211; the Turkel  Committee.</p>
<p>A report of the committee&#8217;s conclusions will be released next Monday. It  will focus on whether the blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza was legal  and complied with international law.</p>
<p>According to the source the main conclusion will be that the way in  which the IDF took control of the Mavi Marmara aid ship was in  accordance with the rules of international law.</p>
