The Gaza Freedom Flotilla announced today that Israeli armed forces attacked its ships and that at least three were intercepted during a renewed attempt to reach the Palestinian enclave, which has suffered immense destruction in the war now entering its third year, to deliver humanitarian aid.

The collective said via Instagram that the Israeli armed forces used electronic warfare devices to block the transmission of communications and videos, and members boarded fleet ships to intercept them.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry, for its part, assured that the flotilla boats are safe and are being taken to an Israeli port where the occupants will be deported immediately.
