Why where the IDF boarding these ships in international waters?
Israel is not the only one.
The Royal Australian Navy, and Australian Customs also board vessels in International Waters. In fact there is a policy to intercept vessels before the enter territorial waters.
All that is needed is mere suspicion of illegalities such as people, drug or arms smuggling or even mere suspicion of illegal fishing within the EEZ.
If international law is being violated, then there is the ICJ.
