The Israeli military began intercepting several boats on Monday morning that are part of a flotilla attempting to break the Gaza blockade.
More than 50 vessels departed from the port in Marmaris last week in what the organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla described as the final leg of their journey to Gaza’s shores.
The organization’s livestream showed several activists filming with cameras as Israeli military boarded their boats off the coast of Cyprus.
An hour prior to the interception, Israel’s Foreign Ministry called activists to “change course and turn back immediately.”
