My theory is that before boarding the boat the IDF fired the paintball guns on the people on the boat to show that they were serious that they were going to board.
This riled up the protesters / aid workers / lefty wing nuts on the boat as well as make them believe the IDF wasn't going to use lethal force. So when the soliders board they attack believing the soliders don't have real guns. Once attacked the Soliders fight back using lethal force.
To me that scenario is the only way to explain why the people on the boat were rioting before being boarded.
