If my goal was to bring as much relief as possible to the ordinary folks in Gaza as quick as possible, would I care if I had to go by Ashdod, Haifa or anywhere else for that matter if I am sure it would reach the target in the fastest fashion?

No, if my goal was humanitarian only and care for ordinary Palestinians, interested only into daily life improvements for ordinary folks in Gaza, I wouldn't care how the help I provide reach them as long as it does, I can check it does in a dilligent and appropriate manner.

Now, if my goal isn't daily life improvements for Gaza's residents but much more politic as usual trying to get Israel's gov into a nasty row, give support to Hamas and possibly prepare the future to end the surveillance and blockade for some missiles to get in from Iran, I would do exactly what happened careless for the consequences about the aid I was supposed to provide and the nine deaths the operation has cost. The inquiry must also held accountable the organisers for the 9 lives lost if it is found out the choice to fight was deliberate careless for the aid onboard that could have been lost and the organisation definitly declared a terrorist organisation.
