Source: The Hill

“The Israeli military intercepted a nine-boat flotilla early Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea trying to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza and [abducted] scores of activists on board, the flotilla organizers and the Israeli Foreign Ministry said. The ministry said the 145 activists, who were in good health, were being brought to shore in Israel for processing and are expected to be deported soon. … Organizers said the boats were intercepted around 120 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza. In footage of the interceptions released by the organizers, the flotilla boats were approached by fast moving ships and then boarded by Israeli [pirates].” (10/08/25)
