Israeli Navy Halts Freedom Flotilla Coalition Boats Headed for Gaza

The Israeli Navy intercepted and seized multiple vessels from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) as they approached Gaza waters.

According to the FFC, Israeli forces targeted their convoy, first boarding The Conscience, a ship carrying 93 passengers, including journalists, medical professionals, and activists.

The operation extended to three smaller boats in the flotilla on Wednesday, with the military taking clontrol of the vessels.

Its passengers were “being held in unknown conditions”, it said.

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on X that a raid on the flotilla had taken place.

“Another futile attempt to breach the legal naval blockade and enter a combat zone ended in nothing,” the ministry said.

“The vessels and the passengers are transferred to an Israeli port. All the passengers are safe and in good health. The passengers are expected to be deported promptly,” it added.
