Gisha, Adalah, and Al Mezan filed Supreme Court petition; Israel says it will return another 65 boats and fishing vessels seized from Gaza fishermen within the next four months.

Adalah demands Israel prohibit use of live ammunition against protesters; military retroactively invented 'key instigator' category to justify shootings of people who posed no immediate danger.

Israel says will return boats 'subject to security and political considerations'; NGOs demand Israel return them immediately along with all on-board equipment, without further costs to boat owners.

Adalah: Israel demonstrates continued unwillingness to investigate its actions in a long series of suspected war crimes and attacks on Gaza.

Adalah's Hassan Jabareen: We turned courtroom into space where police violence was exposed & rejected. This was possible due to social media posts that told true story of what happened.

Since petition filed, Israeli troops have continued to kill Palestinians with live ammunition, including 59 people – seven of whom were children – on 14 May alone.
