Israeli forces intercepted and boarded vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla, detaining activists and disrupting their protest against the Gaza blockade. The flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid and including prominent figures like Greta Thunberg, was stopped approximately 75 nautical miles off Gaza. Organizers denounced the raid as an "illegal" war crime, while international condemnation and protests erupted worldwide. Israel stated the passengers were safe and being transferred to an Israeli port.
