Global Sumud Flotilla bound for Gaza intercepted by Israeli forces | Video
Israeli forces boarded several boats with foreign activists carrying aid to Gaza and took them to an Israeli port on Wednesday (Oct 1), disrupting a protest that had become one of the most high-profile symbols of opposition to Israel's blockade of the enclave. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was among the Global Sumud Flotilla's passengers and Israeli authorities said she is "safe and healthy". Israeli officials have repeatedly denounced the mission as a stunt and had previously warned the flotilla that it was violating a lawful blockade as it approaches an active combat zone.
