Another Israeli ship approaches Gaza-bound aid flotilla in less than 24 hours, say organizers

Second reported approach by Israeli naval forces in less than 24 hours as convoy nears Gaza coast

By Mohammad Sio

ISTANBUL (AA) – Organizers of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla said Wednesday that another Israeli naval vessel approached the convoy, marking the second such incident in less than 24 hours.

The International Committee to Break the Siege of Gaza said in a post on the US social media company X that an Israeli ship moved close to Alma, the lead vessel in the flotilla.

“An Israeli ship approached Alma – the lead ship of the Sumud Flotilla,” the statement said. “It came close before it went away.”

It came hours after organizers said Israeli naval forces carried out an “intimidatory operation” against the flotilla, circling Alma and another vessel, Sirius, disabling communications, and forcing evasive maneuvers to avoid collision.
