More than 50 ships of the international fleet "Samoud" enter the restricted maritime zone of the occupied territories

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: According to Al Jazeera, citing Hebrew-language media, the Zionist Radio and Television Organization has announced that the international fleet known as "Samoud", consisting of more than 50 ships and boats, has entered the zone that Tel Aviv has declared "forbidden".

 

According to this report, Israeli authorities have ordered that the ships will not be allowed to approach the Gaza Strip under any circumstances. The Israeli Navy is also preparing to stop and seize these ships in international waters, and the activists of this flotilla may be transferred to warships.

 

The "Shayta 13" commando unit had previously threatened to target these ships if they continue to move, a matter reminiscent of the seizure of previous flotillas such as the "Madeleine" and the "Hanzala".

 

The Samood flotilla, with more than 500 human rights activists from 40 countries, is considered the largest collective movement against the 18-year siege of Gaza and has begun its movement from the coast of Greece.

 

The flotilla includes several international organizations, including the "Freedom Flotilla Coalition", the "Global Gaza Movement" and Samood itself.

 

According to the activists, the flotilla is located about 825 kilometers from Gaza, and two Israeli drones have also flown over it. Last week, nine ships from the flotilla were targeted by drone strikes and suffered serious damage.

 

These developments come as the blockade of the Gaza Strip has reached a critical stage since March, with all entry crossings closed. According to statistics from the Gaza Health Ministry, the blockade has led to a massive humanitarian disaster, famine and the deaths of hundreds of people, including women and children.
