The news trickled through the Israeli military censorship which has  sought to block the reporting of any information about the casualties. A report on the Israeli radio said the censorship was aimed at  covering up the number of casualties brought to Israeli hospitals for  treatment. Meanwhile, Israeli Trade and Industry Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer  expressed regret for the deaths aboard the Gaza aid ships. "The images are certainly not pleasant. I can only voice regret at  all the fatalities," he told Israel's Army Radio. The comments come as the first official acknowledgement by Tel Aviv  that the attack had turned fatal. Israel had initially declined to comment on the reports of  casualties from the takeover of the aid ships.         MRS/CS/MRS</blockquote>
