Turkish court seeks arrests of Israeli military officers over 2010 ship killings


ISTANBUL (Reuters) - A Turkish court issued arrest warrants on Monday for four former Israeli military commanders on trial in absentia over the 2010 killing of nine Turks on a Gaza-bound aid ship, Turkish media reports said.

The move came after months of negotiations between Turkey and Israel to end a diplomatic crisis over the Israeli commando raid in 2010 on the Mavi Marmara, a Turkish ship challenging Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave run by the Hamas Islamist group.
