Israeli forces carried out a raid on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud flotilla, which was transporting humanitarian aid. According to the organizers, the flotilla was stopped in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Israel reportedly used drones, communication-disrupting technology, and armed boarding teams to seize control of the vessels. The flotilla’s mission said Israeli military speedboats approached with laser and semi-automatic assault weapons, ordering crew members to kneel.
The flotilla’s social media post claimed that Israeli naval boats surrounded them illegally in international waters and issued threats of abduction and violence. Communication was lost with 11 vessels, while Israeli media reported that seven of the 58 ships had been seized near the Greek island of Crete. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, stated that the flotilla was stopped before reaching Israeli territory.
A spokesperson for the Global Sumud flotilla described the raid as a direct attack on unarmed civilian ships in international waters. The incident has drawn attention to the ongoing restrictions on humanitarian access to Gaza.
