Israel said it was bracing itself for a "provocation fly-in" by pro-Palestinian activists who were planning to board flights to Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.
"The planned provocation and its participants will be dealt with according to Israeli and international law...the event continues attempts to breach Israel's borders by sea, land and air," a written statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
Pro-Palestinian websites have called in recent weeks on activists to fly to Israel on July 8 to protest policy toward the Palestinians, with the aim of coinciding with arrival of the flotilla, floundering in recent days.
Very good attempt
