Israeli speedboats are reportedly circling the Freedom flotilla after vowing to intercept the vessel and stop Greta Thunberg reaching Gaza.
Several vessels were said to have been surrounding the Madleen causing the crew to raise the alarm, but in an update, Freedom flotilla dubbed the incident a 'very unlikely false alarm' as the ships ultimately ended up going their own way.
Member Thiago Avila took to Instagram to tell supporters that the vessel was approached by many boats at the same time before circling them and disappearing.
'It can be IOF vessels, it can be a strategy to come from behind us with their lights off, we're not sure,' he said.
Avila reassured that all members on board are trained to get into position and put on life jackets in the case of an emergency, which is why the alarm was raised.
