Israeli Military Boards Aid Boats Bound for Gaza
Israeli forces intercepted about 40 civilian boats carrying 500 activists and humanitarian aid attempting to breach Gaza's naval blockade, transferring passengers to an Israeli port, officials said.
- On October 2, 2025, the Israeli navy intercepted and stopped seven boats of the Gaza-bound Hamas-Sumud flotilla and transferred passengers to an Israeli port.
- The flotilla aimed to challenge Israel’s maritime restrictions on Gaza, enforced continuously since Hamas assumed control in 2007.
- The flotilla was a volunteer operation carrying medicine, food, and about 500 activists aiming to deliver aid to a war-ravaged Gaza amid ongoing conflict.
- Turkey condemned the interception as an act of terror endangering civilians, and the flotilla organisers denounced it as a war crime while Israel plans to deport passengers to Europe.
- This event underscores international disputes over the blockade’s legality and humanitarian consequences, amid repeated attempts to deliver aid by sea being forcibly stopped.

In terms of law - which, of course, are never really applied in practice to Israel - everything is exceedin…
