Dramatic just-released video showing British citizens and Palestinian fishermen being terrified by machine gun fire close to their boats from the Israeli navy two weeks ago . You can hear the terrified shouts of former Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife's sister Lauren Bo. The shots are seen going into the sea close to their boat.
The footage, taken on September 6th 2008 by Scot Andrew Muncie, shows an Israeli gunboat engaging unarmed fishing boats, shooting close to their hulls, while international observers hold their arms in the air and scream for them to stop firing. These were an 81-year-old nun, an 84-year-old holocaust survivor and Cherie Blair’s sister, Lauren Bo.
After many shots fired at close range ahead and astern of the fishing boats and into the sea between them, narrowly missing them, the firing ceased. The firing is clearly highly dangerous - but this time no one was injured. Palestinian fishermen claim 14 colleagues have died in similar incidents since June 2007.
Muncie, 34, of Dalbreagha, Spean Bridge, with Lauren Bo and the other international observers, arrived in Gaza last month on two boats from Cyprus that breached Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
