Israel Seizes Aid Flotilla Boats Off Crete, Orders Activists to Cease Mission

Israeli naval forces intercepted seven boats from the Global Sumud flotilla near Crete, demanding that activists abandon their journey to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The flotilla, comprising 58 vessels in total, aims to break the long-standing blockade on the Gaza Strip. Israel's actions have raised tensions as the remaining ships continue their mission despite the intervention.
