Marianne sighted off Ashdod shore

The Swedish-registered Marianne of Gothenburg, a ship that was headed for the Gaza Strip but was intercepted by the IDF, is sighted off the shore of Ashdod, Army Radio reports.

The interception occurred without incident and there were no injuries, the IDF said. The ship is being taken to the Ashdod port, after which the activists on board will likely be deported, as Israeli officials warned earlier.
