The Israeli military began intercepting several boats that are part of a flotilla attempting to break the Gaza blockade.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Israel's navy intercepted an activist flotilla in waters off of Cyprus on Monday, halting the group's latest effort to challenge a blockade of Gaza.

Turkey decried Israel's interception of the ships as a "new act of piracy," after the vessels were seized 250 miles from Gaza.
