The boats of the new flotilla heading to Gaza were intercepted by Israel, approximately 120 nautical miles from the Strip . "Another vain attempt to violate the legal naval blockade and enter a combat zone has ended in nothing," reads the X account of the Jewish State's Foreign Ministry.
"The ships and passengers," the statement continues, " have been transferred to an Israeli port . All are safe and sound and in good health. They are expected to be expelled promptly."
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) reports that four boats on the Gaza expedition were "attacked" by Israeli forces . Reporting the incident, the FFC posted a video on its social media channels showing several activists on a boat with their hands raised and wearing life jackets.
The latest ship attacked, the Conscience, "is carrying 92 people, mostly medical and media professionals," it said.
Meanwhile, the peace plan agreement could be signed by the weekend, according to Israeli media. Witkoff and Kushner will be at talks today in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
