They didnt know who or what was really on that ship. For all they knew it was Hamas sympathizers trying to sneak in weapons. For their own safety they had to search the ship. Cant blame them for that. I dont know exactly what happened on the ship but if you are repelling down from a helicopter I can see how it would be easy to get swarmed and have a handgun on your side pulled away from you.
