💨 Abstract

The Israeli military intercepted an aid ship, Handala, bound for Gaza, detaining 21 activists and journalists and seizing humanitarian supplies. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition accused Israel of a violent interception in international waters. Israel's Foreign Ministry confirmed the ship's seizure. This incident follows criticism of Israel's Gaza blockade and concerns over famine. Human rights groups condemning the raid cite violations of international law.
