Russian news agency Itar-Tass reports that the death toll on Monday noon was about 19, referring to Sky News channel.
(Updated Now 9 confirmed May 31,2010)

According to Israeli media, Israeli soldiers are also among those injured.

Early Monday morning the Israeli navy intercepted the fleet of ships about hundred kilometers off the coast of Gaza. They sent out warning signals for the ships to turn round. A detention center has been established in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod to hold those activists who refuse to turn back. Israeli forces insist that they want to check the cargo aboard.

Two of the six ships of the flotilla were towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod, reports news agency Itar-Tass. All those who were aboard are being interrogated by Israeli special services. Later they are to be deported, says the agency referring to Israeli TV.

The press service of the Israel Defense Forces confirmed the boarding on Monday morning and said 10 people were killed in the process. The service also said 4 Israeli servicemen were wounded as the passengers aboard the flotilla offered resistance using edged weapons and firearms against Israeli border guards.

The Free Gaza Strip society, one of the organizers of the flotilla, refuted this information via their Twitter account. The organization says that Israeli forces opened fire on unarmed civilians once they boarded the ship.
