Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israeli Navy Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla
Caption: Israeli Navy Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla. The Israeli navy ordered a Gaza-bound aid flotilla to change course, citing its approach toward an active combat zone. Activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) said several of their vessels were intercepted and boarded by Israeli forces. Israel has not officially confirmed any boarding but maintains that the flotilla is violating a legal naval blockade near Gaza. The GSF claimed Israel disrupted ship communications to block distress signals and stop live broadcasts. Despite the reported interference, some livestreams from the ships, including the Alma, remain active. The flotilla was last reported about 70 nautical miles from Gaza, aiming to arrive Thursday morning. France and Italy said they received assurances from Israel that no violence would be used during any boarding operations. This marks the third attempt this year to deliver aid to Gaza by sea, with previous missions in June and July also blocked by Israel.
