Final vessel intercepted as flotilla presses toward Gaza
In a move that drew immediate international attention, the Israeli navy intercepted Marinette, the last vessel of the 42-boat Global Sumud Flotilla. The flotilla, which launched from Barcelona and included hundreds of activists and volunteers, aimed to deliver humanitarian aid and public pressure to end Gaza’s blockade. By mid-morning local time, the navy had stopped the convoy’s final leg, halting a journey that had seen warnings, water cannons, and a highly publicized show of solidarity among supporters.
