The Israeli Navy has detained some 175 activists from the flotilla that was sailing to the Gaza Strip to challenge Israel’s naval blockade.

Axar.az informs, citing The Times of Israel, that in total, the Navy intercepted 21 of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s 58 vessels overnight near the Greek island of Crete, hundreds of nautical miles from Israel. The other boats have been warned to change course, or they will also be intercepted.

In a post on X, Israel’s Foreign Ministry publishes a video showing some of the activists “enjoying themselves aboard Israeli vessels,” while adding that “approximately 175 activists from more than 20 boats of the condom flotilla are now making their way peacefully to Israel.”
