Global Sumud Flotilla | Explained: Israel Intercepts Sumud Flotilla Carrying Aid To Gaza

Explained in 60 seconds: Israel Intercepts Sumud Flotilla Carrying Aid To Gaza A dramatic scene at sea - a global flotilla of nearly 50 small boats, carrying hundreds of activists and symbolic aid for Gaza, has been intercepted. Israel’s navy moved in about 70 nautical miles off Gaza, using warships and even water cannons to block the convoy. Activists say their radios were jammed, engines cut, and several boats seized. On board were international figures - including climate activist Greta Thunberg. Israel says she’s safe. Tel Aviv defends the move, insisting the blockade stops weapons from reaching Hamas. But flotilla organizers argue: this is about breaking an illegal siege and making sure aid flows freely. Some ships have been diverted. Others are still pushing forward. And with every interception, the fight over Gaza’s blockade isn’t just playing out on land — it’s now raging at sea.
