Israel Intercepts Gaza Aid Flotilla, Detains Activists | JQJO

Israel's military intercepted a nine-boat flotilla attempting to breach its Gaza blockade in the Mediterranean Sea, detaining scores of activists. Organizers condemned the "arbitrary and unlawful" detentions. The flotilla, carrying some humanitarian aid, was boarded by Israeli troops. Turkey strongly condemned the action as "piracy." This incident follows a similar interception of a larger flotilla last week, amid ongoing negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release.
