Israel Navy Seizes Aid Flotilla
An international aid fleet attempting to break a blockade was intercepted in international waters by Israel. The Israeli Navy intercepted the Freedom Flotilla while it was en route to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. Gideon Sa'ar stated that activists from the flotilla will be transferred to Greece following the interception. The mission included 22 Irish people, including Margaret Connolly, sister of the Irish president. The raid occurred near the Greek islands, according to reports. Small drones carrying several kilograms of explosives are proving difficult for the Israeli military to intercept. Researcher Yeho Shoukaliski of the Israel National Security Institute stated these drones fly at speeds between 150 and 200 km/h. The speed and size of the drones make interception by aircraft or helicopters highly complicated. The drones carry explosive charges weighing a few kilograms each.
