According to Al Jazeera, yesterday, the "Handala" ship, which was carrying humanitarian aid and heading to Gaza, was intercepted by the Israeli Navy near the waters of Gaza.
The ship carried 20 activists, including 7 Americans, 4 French, 2 Italians, 2 Australians, 1 British, 1 Spanish, 1 Norwegian, 1 Moroccan, and 1 Tunisian.
At the time of the incident, an activist was live-streaming their journey and reported that an unidentified vessel and a drone were approaching the ship.
Afterward, the Israeli Navy boarded the "Handala" ship and detained it, then turned off the cameras.
This is the seventh attempt by the "Freedom Flotilla Coalition" to break through the blockade and head to Gaza. Previously, the "Madleen" ship was attacked and seized in international waters, with its crew arrested and mistreated.
The ship was detained, and the "Freedom Flotilla Coalition" released a pre-recorded video by American citizen Brenden Peluso, urging his friends and family to pressure the U.S. government to demand Israel's release of him.
