The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has condemned Israeli threats against a multinational Gaza-bound aid convoy, Freedom Flotilla.

The fleet, consisting of nine vessels from Turkey, Ireland, Britain and Greece, is on its way to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip. It carries around 10,000 tons of construction material, medical equipment and school supplies, as well as around 750 activists.

Israeli authorities have vowed to throttle the relief. Israeli media have also warned that the activists were to be put under arrest.

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the threats amounted to acts of "state terrorism," the International Middle East Media Center reported on Tuesday.

Tel Aviv has imposed a land, air, and sea blockade on the Gaza Strip since mid-June 2007, when the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas gained control of the territory.

Abu Zuhri said, "The ships carry a humanitarian mission, they want to break this illegal siege and deliver humanitarian supplies."

He welcomed inclusion of Mauritanian, Algerian and Kuwaiti ships in the fleet and said, "The Zionist entity will be held responsible for the lives of the Arab and international activists, and the political and official figures."
