On October 1, 2025, Israeli naval forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla — a humanitarian convoy of more than 50 vessels carrying 497 participants from 46 countries — about 75 nautical miles off Gaza’s coast, in international waters.

🌍 Mission Objective:
Deliver food, medicine, and baby formula to Gaza, directly challenging Israel’s naval blockade amid the worsening humanitarian crisis.

⚓ What Happened:

Ships including Alma, Adara, and Sirius were boarded.

Organizers from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition condemned the move as illegal piracy.

Israel justified the seizure as “enforcement,” claiming Hamas-linked documents were found onboard.

Nearly 500 activists — including Greta Thunberg — were detained and transferred to Ashdod port.

No injuries have been reported.

🎥 Greta Thunberg’s Statement:

> “Israel will intercept us tonight — a blatant violation of humanitarian and maritime law.
Israel is not above international law.
They must be held accountable for their war crimes.
Stop the genocide. End the occupation. Free Palestine 🇵🇸.”

⚠️ Flotilla organizers also reported sighting 20 unidentified vessels nearby, warning of more potential interceptions.

This incident — described by activists as a “global kidnapping” — has left nearly 500 citizens from dozens of countries in Israeli custody, sparking urgent questions about international law, human rights, and accountability.
