A Gaza-bound aid vessel named Consonance, carrying renowned Bangladeshi photographer Shahidul Alam along with journalists, doctors, and human rights activists, was reportedly overflown by a military aircraft on Sunday afternoon while sailing through the Mediterranean Sea. During a Facebook Live broadcast from the ship, activist William Alexander described the plane as a “large military aircraft” that circled several times before flying directly overhead. Though not confirmed, passengers believe it was an Israeli jet attempting to intimidate the mission. Despite the tense moment, crew members urged calm, emphasizing the ship’s peaceful mission to deliver medical supplies to Gaza. Captain Madelaine Habib expressed hope of reaching Gaza safely and called for a permanent maritime corridor for Palestinians. Filmmaker Tom Hayes urged global unity for Palestinian freedom. The voyage is part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and the Thousand Madelines to Gaza initiative, aiming to break Israel’s blockade.
