In a significant escalation, Israeli forces have intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining them as the vessel was diverted to Israel. The ship, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition intended to deliver aid to Gaza, faced an Israeli military operation that reportedly included the boarding of the vessel. Despite claims from activists regarding the interception and the prevention of aid from reaching Gaza, Israeli officials have vowed to block the mission, citing security concerns. As tensions rise, activists on board have expressed alarm over the situation, claiming that communications were disrupted and calling for solidarity amidst what they describe as an assault on humanitarian efforts.
