Naval ships from Spain and Italy escorted the flotilla for the past few days from Greek waters before pulling back from the flotilla at the so-called “orange line.” Several ships had been attacked by drones in an apparent attempt to intimidate the nonviolent activists to continue sailing toward Gaza.
Wtf dude. Why send your ships if you’re just going to pull out right before they commit crimes against international law?
Wasn’t the presence of the navy for their protection?!?
Isn’t the Italian Military there to protect them from war crimes?

Currently, 11 ships are not yet registered as intercepted, not counting the legal support vessels. The ship Mikeno made it into Gaza territorial waters before contact was lost. In general updates are scarce, so it’s hard to know what is going on - Mikeno also went a long time without updates over night before it suddenly appeared less than 20 km from Gaza.
10 ships are assumed intercepted. 21 are confirmed intercepted.
Fuck Israel and their genocide.

Everything else would have been more of a surprise. Imagine Israel actually letting the ships sail past them. But again they really act like the politicians they are, only seeing the short term military “win” while they strike one moral defeat after another.
While i hope that it won’t take another genocide to end this regime, i am absolutely sure that Israel has handed itself a grave moral loss around the whole world. Even though the world is good at forgetting i am hopeful that enough new activists will help preventing this.
Tomorrow it is time to take to the streets again. Never surrender and free Palestine 🇵🇸

I don’t think Israel can recover from this.
