Israeli forces have seized a second boat belonging to the international Freedom Flotilla coalition which was carrying a relief cargo to the besieged Gaza Strip in face of a draconian blockade imposed by Tel Aviv.
The incident occurred days after the Israeli navy seized a Norwegian-flagged boat belonging to the fotilla.
The vessel, named Freedom for Gaza and carrying 12 people, was taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod on Saturday, the
military said, adding the people on board were taken for "further inquiry."
The first "Freedom Flotilla", carrying medical equipment, was intercepted en route to "break the blockade" on Gaza last month.
Four boats left from Scandinavia in mid-May and stopped in some 28 ports along the way, with two remaining behind after a recent stop in the Italian port of Palermo.
Six months in, the war in the Gaza Strip has dramatically shifted the Palestinian people’s nutrition circumstances from nearly proper food security to food scarcity.
Several Palestinian citizens were martyred and others injured, including children and women, in the Zionist regime’s aerial and artillery strikes targeting several areas across the Gaza Strip, early Tuesday morning, on the 186th day of the aggression on the region.
The Saudi foreign minister says residents of the Israeli regime are not welcome to visit the Arab country, a day after Tel Aviv announced that it would for the first time allow Israelis to travel to the kingdom under certain circumstances.
A Young Palestinian man has succumbed to his wounds some two years after he was shot by Israeli soldiers during an anti-occupation protest along the border between the blockaded Gaza Strip and the Occupied Territories.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has criticized the European Union for its “weak and late” measures vis-à-vis the Israeli regime’s activities across Palestinian territories, particularly in Jerusalem al-Quds, calling on the 28-member bloc to adopt a firmer stand against the Tel Aviv regime’s “open battle” against the occupied holy city.
