The Israeli Navy has hijacked the British-flagged relief ship Handala en route to the blockaded Gaza Strip. The vessel, carrying 21 unarmed personnel including doctors, parliament members, and volunteers, had departed from Italy with humanitarian aid such as food, formula, and medicine for Gaza’s children. The crew issued a distress call after spotting Israeli drones and naval ships approaching. This incident follows previous similar hijackings by Israel targeting ships delivering aid to Gaza, highlighting ongoing tensions in the region.
