The IDF boarded.
That is not an attack.
It is a regular occurance at sea, and also on buses.
The IDF soldiers landed, with their paintball guns on their backs, and were attacked with great violence.
They endured nearly 3 minutes before a round was fired.
That shows unusual restraint.
The IDF did not attack, they merely landed.
Each in turn was met with extreme violence.
They were attacked.
