FILE - In this Friday, May 30, 2014 file photo, Palestinians enjoy the beach on the Mediterranean Sea as a fisherman sails on his boat at sunset in Gaza City, in the northern Gaza Strip. The Israeli navy arrested four Palestinian fishermen and seized their boat on Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014, a Gaza official says, in one of the first instances of friction between the sides since the Gaza war ended last month. The Israeli military said two vessels were involved in the incident. It said the vessels were operating outside of their permitted maritime limit, and after ignoring requests to move closer to shore were boarded by naval personnel and seized.

A Pro-Russian rebel looks at pieces of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 plane near village of Rozsypne, eastern Ukraine, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014. The Dutch team investigating the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Eastern Ukraine says the crash was likely caused by the plane being hit by multiple "high-energy objects from outside the aircraft." The preliminary report published Tuesday by the Dutch Safety Board stopped short of saying the Boeing 777 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, but its findings appear to point to that conclusion.
