The Israeli military has intercepted several ships from the Global Sumud Flotilla, which consists of 44 vessels and around 500 activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. At least six ships were intercepted approximately 70 nautical miles from the Gaza coast, with reports of aggressive actions by the Israeli navy, including ramming and using water cannons. Activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained, prompting international condemnation and protests in cities like Athens and Rome. The flotilla's organizers assert that their mission is legal and accuse Israel of violating international law. Turkish and Italian officials have condemned the interceptions, with calls for the release of detained activists. The situation remains tense as activists await potential deportation or legal proceedings.
