❗️Israel seizes new wave of Freedom Flotilla boats carrying aid to Gaza
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said Israeli forces attacked and seized several of its boats sailing toward Gaza, including The Conscience, which carried 93 journalists, doctors, and activists.
“The Israeli military has no legal jurisdiction over international waters,” the FFC said. “Our flotilla poses no harm.”
Israel’s foreign ministry confirmed the operation, calling it “another futile attempt to breach the legal naval blockade.” It said passengers were being taken to an Israeli port for deportation.
The FFC said the convoy was carrying more than $110,000 worth of medical and nutritional aid for Gaza’s hospitals and that passengers were “being held in unknown conditions.”
Activists from Ireland, France, and Denmark were also among those detained.
