Israeli naval forces intercepted and seized the Handala, a ship carrying humanitarian aid and international activists, as it attempted to break the naval blockade of Gaza. The vessel, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was boarded in international waters and towed to the Israeli port of Ashdod, with all 21 crew members detained. The activists, including medics, lawyers, journalists, and human rights advocates from multiple countries, sought to deliver food, baby formula, and medical supplies to Gaza, where famine conditions have been reported. Israel claims such attempts are unlawful and dangerous, while critics and rights groups accuse Israel of piracy and obstructing vital humanitarian relief. This is at least the third such flotilla intercepted this year, highlighting ongoing international tensions over the Gaza blockade and the humanitarian crisis in the region.
