‼️🚨Israeli Military Attacks Flotilla in International Waters

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition ( #FFC) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza ( #TMTG) confirm that three boat : #Gaza Sunbirds, Alaa Al-Najajr, Anas Al-Sharif, have been attacked and illegally intercepted❗️ freedomflotilla.org/2025/10/08/i...

Israeli Military Attacks Flotilla in International Waters
120 Nautical Miles (220km) from Gaza
8 October 2025 - The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) and Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) confirm that
three boat: Gaza Sunbirds, Alaa Al-Najajr, Anas Al-Sharif, have been attacked and illegally intercepted by the Israeli military at 04:34 at 120 nautical miles (220km) from Gaza.
Sources so far indicate that the unarmed crew aboard, including doctors, journalists, and elected officials, have been abducted, as well as the vital aid worth over
$110,000 USD in medicines, respiratory equipment, and nutritional supplies that were destined for Gaza's starving hospitals. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
"Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard these ships," David Heap, Canadian Boat to Gaza and Freedom Flotilla Coalition Steering Committee. "This seizure blatantly violates international law and defies the ICJ's binding orders requiring unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza. Our volunteers
are not subject to Israeli jurisdiction and cannot be
criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end immediately."
This assault follows the illegal seizure and unlawful detention of those on the Global Sumud Flotilla, Handala, and Madleen, as well as the Israeli drone attack on the
Conscience in European waters earlier this year, which left
