In a renewed operation, the Israeli Navy intercepted and seized several vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attempting to break the blockade on Gaza. The interception occurred approximately 120 to 140 nautical miles off Gaza’s coast.
In a large-scale operation, the Israeli regime’s navy intercepted around 40 out of 47 vessels from the international Sumud Flotilla en route to Gaza, detaining dozens of activists and transferring them to Ashdod port.
In the waters of the Mediterranean, an unprecedented movement is underway. The “Sumud Flotilla,” comprising over 40 ships from 44 nations, is approaching Gaza. Escorted by three NATO warships from Spain, Italy, and Turkey, this mission goes far beyond humanitarian aid; it represents a direct, complex, and multilayered challenge to Israel’s security doctrine and a critical test for the credibility of international law.
Several vessels from the humanitarian “Sumud” flotilla were struck by drone attacks in the Mediterranean Sea. At least 15 drones flew over the convoy, with 12 direct strikes hitting 9 boats. More than 13 explosions were heard near the ships, and unidentified objects were reportedly dropped on 10 vessels, causing damage.
