Israeli naval forces have begun intercepting and seizing boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is attempting to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.
Earlier, Israel warned the “participants in this provocation to change course and turn back immediately,” according to Israel’s Channel 12.
The flotilla reported that it had detected “suspicious” movements earlier in the day involving unidentified ships and boats near its vessels, shortly after announcing that it had entered international waters.
