Israeli naval ships intercept Gaza-bound flotilla

Israeli naval forces have intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg and other activists. The flotilla, known as the Global Sumud Flotilla, was attempting to breach the Israeli blockade of Gaza when it was intercepted. According to reports, the activists on board the flotilla were peacefully protesting the Israeli blockade of Gaza and attempting to deliver humanitarian aid. However, the Israeli navy has stated that the flotilla was intercepted in accordance with international law, as the blockade is in place for security reasons. The activists, including Greta Thunberg, are being taken to an Israeli port, where they will likely be processed and potentially deported. The incident has sparked renewed tensions between Israel and pro-Palestinian activists, who have long criticized the blockade as a form of collective punishment against the people of Gaza.
