Israeli naval forces raided Gaza-bound aid vessels in international waters hundreds of nautical miles from the besieged enclave late on Wednesday.

According to the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission, at least 15 boats were intercepted, with those on board “abducted” by Israeli forces and unaccounted for.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry said approximately 175 activists from more than 20 boats were in Israeli custody.

The Global Sumud Flotilla said various vessels were “systematically disabled” after being raided, leaving activists stranded at sea.

“After smashing engines and destroying navigation arrays, the military retreated—intentionally leaving hundreds of civilians stranded on powerless, broken vessels directly in the path of a massive approaching storm,” it said.

Spain and Turkey should send warships to allow flotillas to pass. Unfortunately, Turkey does not care and, despite all the genuine support by Spain, it is not courageous enough to go this far.

    All Mediterranean nations should fight against high seas piracy in the Mediterranean.

    it is such a cowardly BS to ignore it.

    A rogue nation is attacking civilian vessels in international waters to protect a genocide. and no one who can do anything about this does anything.

    Send some fucking warships and sink those pirates.

    People should start to realize that it's zionism against the whole world.

    This should really be obvious, Nazis won't suffer the indignity of existing on a planet with other people. It happened last time, it's happening now, it'll happen when they fully take over America too.

    Israel is a rogue state and must be stopped.

    I wouldn't call that piracy. I'd call it attempted murder.

    I want to be surprised but I'm not. They aren't letting anyone stop their genocide.
