The Israeli military intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship, detaining 21 international activists and journalists and seizing all cargo, which included baby formula, food, and medicine. The vessel, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was stopped in international waters about 40 nautical miles from Gaza, according to the group. Human rights organizations and lawmakers have condemned the interception, arguing it violates international law and demanding the release of those detained. This incident comes amid growing international criticism of Israel over the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where hunger and medical shortages are escalating due to ongoing restrictions on aid.
