Israeli troops will board an Irish-owned aid ship attempting to break the blockade of Gaza if it does not change course, Israel's military says.
The MV Rachel Corrie was instructed to dock at the Israeli port of Ashdod but has not complied, Israel says.
"If they won't leave us any choice, we'll have to board the ship," Lt-Col Avital Liebovich told Reuters.
It comes days after Israeli commandos stormed a
Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Clashes on board left nine people dead.
That raid brought strong condemnation of Israel, especially from Turkey, from where most of the victims came.
The Rachel Corrie is believed to be in international waters, about 35 miles (56km) off the Israeli coast.
Israel says it has radioed the aid ship but received no response. - BBC
