Israeli Forces Intercept Gaza-Bound Flotilla Near Greece, Slovaks Among Activists
Share:
Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla attempting to reach Gaza while the vessels were still near Greek waters, with Slovak activists among those on board. The operation involved drilling holes in the boats to disable them. The flotilla was part of ongoing activist efforts to challenge Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, which Israel maintains for security reasons while critics argue it constitutes collective punishment of Palestinian civilians. Such maritime interventions by Israeli forces typically occur in international waters to prevent vessels from reaching Gaza's coastline.
