A group aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla released a live transmission while sailing around 95 nautical miles from Greece, saying they believe an interception may be imminent after losing contact with one of the vessels in the convoy.
The flotilla says it is attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and draw international attention to the ongoing blockade and the humanitarian situation there due to Israel's genocide.
Similar past flotilla attempts have been illegally intercepted or stopped before reaching Gaza, often by Israeli forces in international waters.
In the video, a participant says they observed helicopters overhead, a US military aircraft, multiple drones, and a warship reportedly operating with its lights off.
They also say parts of the flotilla lost communication, which they believe may indicate electronic interference or jamming.
They also make a call for global action, urging people to pressure companies and institutions worldwide to cut ties with and stop supporting supply chains linked to Israel’s genocidal operations.
