<div id="divLead"><strong>An unnamed high-ranking Israeli military source has warned against any potential seaborne attempt by pro-Palestinian activists to deliver humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.</strong></div>
<p>&#8220;No ship will get into Gaza,&#8221; the source was quoted by Reuters as saying in a warning directed against an aid flotilla, which is to set off for Gaza in the third week of June.</p>
<p>The Israeli source also threatened that &#8220;If the sea line is opened, then Gaza will be flooded with arms and rockets.”</p>
<p>The Freedom Flotilla II is organized by a coalition of pro-Palestinian groups, most of whom are based in Europe.</p>
<p>The mission is named after the first such mission, which Israel attacked on May 31, 2010, killing nine Turkish activists and injuring around 50 others.</p>
<p>The organizers of the new convoy say it will consist of around 15 vessels and over 1,000 activists.</p>
<p>The Israeli regime laid an economic siege on the Gaza Strip in June 2007 after the democratically-elected Hamas lawmakers took over the administration of the enclave.</p>
<p>The blockade has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the impoverished territory.</p>
<p>Some 1.5 million people are being denied their basic rights, including the freedom of movement and their rights to appropriate living conditions, work, health and education.</p>
