DEVELOPING: Israeli Navy Orders Gaza Flotilla to Alter Course Amid Reports of Interception

Israeli Navy Orders Gaza Flotilla to Alter Course Amid Reports of Interception The Israeli navy has ordered a flotilla carrying aid towards Gaza to change course, as activists claim the boats have been intercepted. The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) says some vessels have been boarded by "military personnel" after being approached by Israeli ships. The Israeli Foreign Ministry stated that the navy informed the flotilla it was approaching an active combat zone and must alter its course. However, Israel has not confirmed boarding any vessels. The GSF's social media posts indicate multiple boats are involved in the incident. This is the second attempt to reach Gaza with aid. In a previous attempt, activists were detained by Israeli forces and taken ashore. The Israeli Foreign Ministry claims the flotilla is violating a lawful naval blockade covering waters next to Gaza. The current status of those aboard the intercepted vessels remains unclear. The GSF says it is working to confirm the situation. Further developments are expected as the situation unfolds.
