Israeli forces intercept new Gaza-bound aid flotilla

JERUSALEM: Israeli forces on Wednesday intercepted a new Gaza-bound aid flotilla, days after thwarting another maritime convoy that had tried to break Israel’s blockade on the war-battered Palestinian territory. The Global Sumud Flotilla first reported that three of its vessels had been “attacked and illegally intercepted by the Israeli military” in the early morning, 220 kilometers (about 140 miles) off the coast of Gaza. It later said all nine of the latest flotilla’s vessels had been intercepted, including one, the Conscience, carrying more than 90 journalists, doctors and activists.
