    I am not aware of that fact. Are there any laws/incidents which would prohibit normal ships from leaving the area?

      laws? it’s internationally illegal, but that doesn’t matter, hence all the UN resolutions that Israel ignores.

      incidents? sure, here’s an article from a few years ago of an incident that got somewhat prominent outside the region, it’s just that no one cares if the IDF blows a few brown fishermen out of the water (hell outside the English publication of a few prominent Hebrew papers people wouldn’t even know that Netanyahu was aiding Hamas to stay in power)

        Well yes, you cannot just let a ship go to Gaza because of the possibility of bringing even more weapons there.
