Territorial waters are 12 nautical miles and 12 additional nautical miles may be claimed as Contiguous zone. The 200 nautical miles exclusive economic zone only give the countries rights to economic interests but is still considered international water. The ships where 70-80 nautical miles outside the Israeli blockade zone of gaza in International water according to most sources I have seen.
