GAZA CITY, Dec 1 (AFP): Israeli navy ships Monday prevented a Libyan cargo ship from reaching the blockaded Hamas- ruled Gaza Strip, a Palestinian official said.
The ship, laden with 3,000 tonnes of goods, was stopped several kilometres (miles) off Gaza's shores and ordered to return to the port of El-Arish in Egypt, said MP Jamal Khodary, who heads an international campaign against the Israeli blockade.
