Israel intercepted an aid ship bound for Gaza, detaining prominent activists including Greta Thunberg and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament. The ship, 'Madleen,' was part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition's effort to deliver aid to Gaza, which has faced a severe humanitarian crisis due to an 11-week Israeli blockade following over 600 days of war. The Israeli military boarded the vessel, claiming it was a 'selfie yacht' staging a media provocation. Activists reported being surrounded by quadcopters, sprayed with a white substance, and experiencing communication jamming. Israel's foreign ministry stated the passengers would return home after being taken to Israel. While Israel maintains the blockade is necessary, humanitarian groups warn of a worsening crisis, including potential famine. The interception has sparked international condemnation, with Hamas demanding the activists' release and the Freedom Flotilla Coalition accusing Israel of violating international law. A previous Freedom Flotilla Coalition ship, 'Conscience,' also reported an alleged drone attack off Malta. The 'Madleen' incident underscores the ongoing tensions and humanitarian challenges in the Gaza Strip.
