Latest updates on aid vessels bound for Gaza




Israeli forces are currently storming one of the boats bound for Gaza, as volunteers onboard the vessels alert of disrupted communication.

The Israeli Army Radio quoted a military source as saying that a decision was made to carry out the operation to seize the flotilla away from the Gaza coast because of its size, which involved about 100 boats and 1,000 activists.

"Communications with 11 vessels have been lost and israeli media claims that 7 boats have been intercepted," the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a post on X.  

"Governments must act now to protect the flotilla, hold israel accountable for these flagrant violations of international law and for israel's ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people," it added. 

According to another post by the movement, boats were approached by  military speedboats, who pointed lasers and semi-automatic assault weapons against activists.
