Gaza-bound flotilla says Israeli forces intercepting fleet near Cyprus

Israeli forces were intercepting a Gaza-bound aid flotilla on Monday after it set sail from Turkey last week, with organisers saying one of the vessels was stopped west of Cyprus.

"Military vessels are currently intercepting our fleet and Israeli forces are currently boarding the first of our boats in broad daylight," the Global Sumud Flotilla posted on X.
