Israeli naval forces boarded and seized a charity vessel that tried to break a naval blockade of the war-torn Gaza Strip. The boat — with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg — is now heading to a port in Israel.
The British-flagged yacht, Madleen, which is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was aiming to deliver a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza later on Monday and raise international awareness of the humanitarian crisis there.
