We’ve detected 20+ unidentified vessels on our radar, just 3 nautical miles ahead of our fleet.

This may signal a potential naval blockade. But let it be clear: we will not be intimidated by threats, harassment, or efforts to protect Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza.

Well, they have no authority to block humanitarian aid and their blockade is illegal, so they can "warn" all they want but they can not act to stop the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Israel Issues Threats

Thiago Affirms: Our Mission Is Peaceful and Protected by Law

The Israeli occupation government attempted to intimidate our flotilla over radio, threatening to stop and confiscate our vessels if we continued toward Gaza.

Thiago responded firmly: we are a peaceful, nonviolent humanitarian mission. Our journey is legal under international law, and any attempt to obstruct us is not.

“We carry food, aid, water filters, crutches, baby formula, to people you have been starving to death.”

The world is watching, and those responsible for hostile actions will be held accountable.

The [Global Sumud] Flotilla says Israel is trying to sink one of its boats

The flotilla said that Israel was trying to sink one of its boats, the Maria Cristina.

"The Israeli occupation navy is currently attempting to sink the Maria Cristina boat," Global Samud Flotilla said on its Facebook media page. "Israel is committing a full-fledged war crime."

Reuters was not able to confirm the account independently. Israel made no immediate statement about the claim.

Reuters' webpage is too incompetently designed, so it is impossible to link to a specific entry on the live-reports page.
