Yesterdays News, Not
Libya Test Israeli Sovereignty off Gazan Coast Cheshvan 28, 5769, 26 November 08 10:25(IsraelNN.com) A Libyan ship with 3,000 tons of food and medicine is headed for the Gaza coast in a widening effort to break Israeli's sovereignty over coastal waters. Israeli government spokesmen were not aware of the report, published by Afrique-Actualite, but said that a decision if and how to react "will be made when it becomes relevant."
The Olmert administration has backed down three times in the past three months and has allowed pro-Arab "Free Gaza" activists to land in Gaza in what began as a symbolic claim to Hamas control over the coastal waters. Israel stated before the withdrawal from Gaza three years ago that it would retain control over the sea and air space until the Palestinian Authority could prove it is putting a stop to terrorism.
The Libyan ship left the port of Zouara, approximately 75 miles west of Tripoli, on Tuesday.

By ignoring the problem with the boats that have sailed into Gaza over the last few months the Israeli government has a bigger problem on their hands now.
Just think if the Israeli government would have sunk the two boats filled with terrorist supporters when I had said they should have been sunk, all this would have been yesterdays news.
