Israeli Navy forces have intercepted and boarded the Handala, an activist boat aiming to breach the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip. Live footage from the vessel captured the moment troops reached and boarded the boat before the cameras were cut off. The Handala, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was carrying 19 activists and two journalists. This follows a previous attempt by another vessel, the Madleen, which was also stopped on its way to Gaza.
