Israeli forces intercept Gaza aid flotilla in international waters near Crete
Israeli naval forces intercepted 22 vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying approximately 175-211 activists in international waters near Crete, Greece, over 600 miles from Gaza. The flotilla, consisting of 58 total ships from multiple European ports, was attempting to break Israel's maritime blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Israel's foreign ministry characterized it as a PR stunt; flotilla organizers and international observers called it piracy and a violation of international law.
