Organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a mission aiming to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, reported that their vessels have been intercepted by Israeli military speedboats.
The flotilla, which set sail to challenge the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip, was approached by Israeli forces in international waters. The activists claim their boats were surrounded and ordered to halt, with some passengers reportedly taken into custody.
This interception mirrors previous incidents where Israel has stopped ships attempting to break the blockade, citing security concerns to prevent arms smuggling. The flotilla organizers denounce the action as a violation of international law and freedom of navigation.
