edit: intercepted now
Since October 1, ‘Israeli’ forces have detained 223 international activists participating in the Gaza-bound Sumud Flotilla.
The flotilla, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, has faced repeated interceptions at sea, with authorities labeling many of the attempts as illegal under international law.
Despite more than 20 such interventions, one vessel, the Mikeno, managed to evade ‘Israeli’ forces and successfully reach Palestinian waters according to the Sumud Flotilla tracker. The breakthrough marks a rare success for the flotilla.

The fuck?! Israel is illegal under international law. Fuck all the fucking way off.
Remains to be seen if it made it to Gaza or if it was intercepted after getting this close. In either case it’s heroic as fuck.
As many others have noted, this is probably just a glitch or already has been intercepted. Its hasnt moved for hours. The IDF would just bomb them if they ever got even close to shore.

According to news sources they “lost contact” with this ship so I kinda wonder if that’s not what happened.
where has this been noted? the tracker says that it’s still sailing.
The assumption of a malfunction was mentioned on one of the the social media accounts of the GSF and by one of the people on another boat last night during the livestream.
But you can also just use your own head. The IDF has full coverage of the entire area with drones and satellites. Nothing will get through if they dont want it to. There is no slipping by undetected or anything like that. They have thermal cameras on those drones so not even at night.If that boat was actually ever there then it was either already captured or somehow locked in place by the IDF or it was emptied and drifted there.
My friend that works in a sea rescue org always rants to me about how Frontex knows everything going on in the mediterranean sea. When their rescue group finds a sinking boat with people in the water they often struggle to find all the people in the waves. Frontex with their drones flying above them knows about every single person in the water, but they dont share any information with civilians…
Are there any nations supporting these ships? What kind of cargo are they carrying?
They are giving mixed messages. Italy and others sent military escorts but also at the same time were trying to pressure them to stop the trip
That is encouraging.
