Organisers described the detentions as \u201carbitrary and unlawful\u201d, stating that livestreams from several vessels were cut during the interception. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry confirmed the interception and said that 145 passengers were brought to Israel for security processing.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/16.0.1\/72x72\/1f198.png?ssl=1\" alt=\"\ud83c\udd98\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\">freedom Flotilla coalition x thousand madleens to gaza conscience<\/p>\n<p>At roughly 120nms away from Gaza, Israel has attacked our flotilla.<br \/>\nCurrently at least two boats have been boarded and most livestreams have been disconnected.

It described the mission as \u201ca futile effort to violate the lawful naval blockade and enter a combat zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest interception follows the boarding of a larger flotilla last week, when more than 40 boats carrying nearly 450 activists were stopped by Israeli forces while attempting to reach Gaza. Those on board included European lawmakers and Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli authorities said that 171 activists detained in that earlier operation were deported to Greece and Slovakia on Monday, while others were sent to Turkey, Spain, and Italy over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The government rejected allegations of mistreatment made by some of the deported activists, including claims that Thunberg was \u201cparaded like a trophy wrapped in an Israeli flag\u201d and forced to kiss it. Officials dismissed those accounts as false.<\/p>\n<p>The flotilla\u2019s interception comes as the conflict in Gaza enters its third year. Peace negotiations between Israel and Hamas have resumed in Cairo, Egypt, while international demonstrations continue.<\/p>\n<p>Protests were reported in several countries, including Turkey, Mexico, the United States, and Brazil, calling for an end to the war and the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n<p><em>References: Firstpost, newindianexpress<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    MI News Network<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marineinsight.com\/shipping-news\/israel-intercepts-another-gaza-bound-aid-flotilla-hundreds-of-activists-detained\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=israel-intercepts-another-gaza-bound-aid-flotilla-hundreds-of-activists-detained\">Go to marine insight<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel Intercepts Another Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla, Over A Hundred Activists Detained Screengrab from X video posted by Global Sumud Flotilla The Israeli military has intercepted another aid flotilla bound for Gaza, detaining scores of activists and redirecting their vessels to Israel, according to both flotilla organisers and official statements.
