הכוחות הישראליים תופסים ספינת סיוע המועברת לעזה בסכסוך ימי בעלות גבוהה

Israeli naval forces intercepted and seized the Handala, an activist ship carrying humanitarian aid and international activists, as it attempted to break the blockade of Gaza. The vessel was boarded in international waters, and its 21 crew members, including medics, journalists, and human rights advocates from multiple countries, were detained and brought to the Israeli port of Ashdod. This marks at least the third such interception this year, as the Freedom Flotilla Coalition continues efforts to challenge Israel's blockade and deliver aid to Gaza, where famine conditions have been reported. Israel maintains that such attempts are illegal and dangerous, while activists argue the blockade is causing severe humanitarian suffering. The incident has drawn international attention and criticism, with calls for greater humanitarian access to Gaza.
