Unable to stop all of the nearly 45 boats heading toward the Palestinian enclave, Israel boarded about 20 of them. The Global Sumud Flotilla, seeking to 'break the blockade' of Gaza, claimed a symbolic victory.

Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Marinette, the last boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla that was still sailing.

The Global Sumud Flotilla says its fleet of over 50 ships has entered the ‘high-risk zone.’
