Health Workers Picket for Flotilla to Be Protected
Israeli forces seized most of over 40 vessels and detained hundreds of activists in a bid to uphold Gaza blockade, triggering widespread European protests and strikes.
- On October 1, Israeli military units stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla—which included more than 40 boats—while they were sailing near Gaza, resulting in the detention of hundreds on board.

- These coordinated actions signify a growing movement linking labor and youth activism to oppose support for the Gaza blockade and advocate for intensified international pressure on Israel.
