Israel intercepts Gaza-bound activist boat carrying food aid
Israeli troops intercept a Gaza-bound boat in international waters aiming to deliver food aid to Gaza. The Handala vessel, carrying activists and journalists, was stopped by the Israeli navy for attempting to breach the blockade on Gaza. Video footage shows armed soldiers taking control of the boat, while the Israeli foreign ministry states that the ship is being safely escorted to an Israeli port, ensuring the safety of all passengers on board. FFC condemns the interception and calls for global pressure on governments to sanction Israel for this action.
