Organizers reported numerous boats were seized in international waters, with some facing drone attacks prior to interception. Israel stated the activists are safe and will be deported. The flotilla aimed to deliver humanitarian aid and break the Gaza blockade, drawing condemnation from several nations for violating international law and threatening diplomatic relations.
