Israeli Military Intercepts Gaza Flotilla, Organisers Says (Photos) «
Israeli forces have boarded and taken control of nearly all the vessels in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which had been attempting to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza and had garnered global attention as one of the largest naval aid missions to the Palestinian enclave.
The flotilla, which comprised at least 44 civilian boats carrying about 500 activists, was intercepted by Israeli forces late on Wednesday, with volunteers on board detained and taken to Israel. Attempts to stop the entourage continued on Thursday, and the Israeli military announced in a post on X at noon local time (09:00 GMT) that “all but one” of the ships had been seized.
