Mediterranean Sea: Pirates attack 14 aid boats, abduct crews

“Israeli [pirates] stopped 14 boats carrying foreign activists and aid bound for Gaza, flotilla organisers said on Thursday, but 23 boats are continuing to sail towards the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave, according to the flotilla’s tracking system. … The flotilla is the latest sea-borne attempt to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, much of which has been turned into a wasteland by almost two years of war. The flotilla’s organisers denounced Israel’s action as a ‘war crime.’ They said the [pirates] used aggressive tactics, including the use of water cannon, but that no one was harmed. ‘Multiple vessels … were illegally intercepted and boarded by Israeli [pirates] in international waters,’ the organisers said in a statement.” (10/02/25)
