Israel Intercepts Gaza Aid Flotilla, Seizes Vessels in International Waters

Israel's military has reportedly seized 22 vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla, an aid convoy attempting to break the blockade on Gaza. The intercepted ships were taken to Crete, Greece, following the operation in international waters. The flotilla, organized by activist groups, aimed to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza, which has been under a strict blockade by Israel and Egypt. The Israeli military stated that the interception was necessary to prevent arms smuggling, while critics condemned the action as a violation of international law. No injuries were reported during the seizure.
