MADRID (Dow Jones)--Spain's Foreign Ministry Monday condemned Israel's military action against an aid ship flotilla bound for Gaza. Spain's government considers that the military action was "completely disproportionate, and fully supports the European Union query that Israel carries out an investigation, and that it finds out who's responsible," the ministry said in a release Monday. Naval forces stormed six ships bound for besieged Gaza with thousands of metric tons of aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on board. Israel said its forces were attacked by some of the activists and that both sides used live fire. At least 10 of the passengers were killed, Agence France Presse said earlier Monday.
