Czech journalists on aid to Gaza flotilla unharmed in Israeli raids

Four Czech journalists who were on board a ship in a flotilla stormed by Israeli forces on Sunday night were unharmed, the Czech consul in Tel Aviv Dušan Králík said. The four were reported to include two Czech Television journalists, a filmmaker and a freelance reporter. Mr Králík said they would be deported from Israel. The ships were carrying aid to Gaza, breaking a blockade imposed by Israel after Hamas took power there in 2007. The United Nations Security Council has condemned the raids, which left at least 10 civilians dead.
