Gaza Aid Flotilla Intercepted Near Crete Background of the flotilla mission A large aid convoy named the Global Sumud Flotilla set sail from Spain, France, and Italy two weeks ago. Around 58 vessels joined the mission. The goal was to deliver humanitarian assistance to Gaza and challenge the naval blockade imposed by Israel. Interception near Crete Israeli naval forces intercepted multiple boats carrying activists in international waters close to the southern coast of Crete. Reports from the flotilla organizers say 22 vessels were stopped during the operation. Around 175 to 180 activists from different countries were detained. Organizers claim the interception happened far from Gaza, around 600 miles away. They also say communication systems were jammed and several boats were damaged during the action. Some vessels were reportedly left drifting in difficult weather conditions. Israel response to the operation Israel’s foreign ministry rejected the allegations and described the flotilla as a public relations campaign. Officials stated the operation was carried out to enforce a lawful naval blockade. They also said the action was peaceful and no injuries were reported. The ministry claimed that some items found on board appeared to be drugs and contraceptives. It also accused the group of coordinating with Hamas and attempting to disrupt diplomatic efforts related to Gaza. Organisers reaction The Global Sumud Flotilla strongly criticized the interception and called it unlawful. They said civilians were targeted and detained without justification. Organizers also accused Israeli forces of damaging boats and leaving participants in unsafe conditions. They described the action as an attack on humanitarian efforts and demanded the immediate release of all detained activists. Position from Greece Greek authorities confirmed that Israeli naval vessels operated outside Greek territorial waters during the incident. Officials said no prior coordination took place between Greece and Israel. A government spokesperson added that the situation remained under observation.
