"Israeli military forces intercepted the boats travelling with the Global Sumud Flotilla from Barcelona in Spain, using drones, communications jamming technology, and armed raiding parties to halt the humanitarian fleet in the middle of the Mediterranean as it headed to Gaza."
"On Friday, an Israeli army ship transferred 168 members of the flotilla crew to Greek boats, which then took them to Crete, where buses and an ambulance car waited for them."
"A source who asked not to be identified also told Reuters that the remaining 47 boats at sea were still sailing off southern Crete and planned to anchor there at some point before continuing onwards to Gaza."
Israeli military forces intercepted 22 vessels of the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near Greece, detaining 168 activists. The flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, was halted using drones and armed raiding parties. The activists were transferred to Greek boats and taken to Crete, while two activists remained with Israeli authorities. A total of 47 boats are still sailing towards Gaza, each carrying approximately a tonne of supplies. Security footage captured the moment of interception as crew members raised their arms in response to the Israeli military.
