הכוחות הישראליים תופסים ספינת סיוע המועברת לעזה, מעצרים פעילים בקרב גבוה של עימות בחסימה

Israeli naval forces intercepted and seized the Handala, a vessel organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, as it attempted to deliver humanitarian aid and activists to Gaza in defiance of Israel's maritime blockade. The ship, carrying 21 international activists, journalists, and aid workers, was boarded in international waters and escorted to an Israeli port, with all passengers detained but reported safe. This marks at least the third such interception this year, highlighting ongoing international efforts to challenge the blockade amid reports of severe humanitarian crises in Gaza. Israeli authorities maintain the blockade is necessary for security, while activists and aid groups accuse Israel of exacerbating famine and restricting vital supplies. The incident has drawn global attention to the blockade's impact and the risks faced by those attempting to deliver aid by sea.
