I can say with good confidence that if a US police officer found himself in a similar situation on land (surrounded and being attacked by people with weapons) they would have opened fire as well.

And seeing the way the 'humanitarian activists' reacted, I can't say I'm overwhelmed with grief. What do you expect when you attack soldiers with guns?

CR
So next time there's a riot with less than a hundred people in the US we're expecting to see casualities?

I'm really curious who it was that thought that sending down troops one and one into an aggressive crowd was a good idea. And should be interesting if pictures of the actual shooting gets released, since it's obvious that the Israeli forces got them.

About the location. Judging from the newpaper picture, the last known location before the attack was about 70 km from the coast. The territorial water is 22 km wide.
