#1 Be a real shame if the vessel mysteriously explodes. Or sinks with all hands.

Either way, it will be a shame. A real bummer. Yep.

#2 My thoughts exactly, Scooter. With the inshallah maintenance they have in most Muslim countries, and all the reefs and other underwater hazards near Gaza, it just could happen.
A fire could break out in the engine room, or something could rip the bottom of the ship out. Happens all the time.

#5 The IDF Navy may, if the ship approaches Gaza, disable the propeller this time. In retrospect, this should arguably have been done with the Mavi Marmara ship.

A ship as big as the Amalthea will then take several days to be towed to port.
