Israeli Navy forces are set to board a Gaza-bound flotilla organized by the Turkish IHH within the next hour. The intercept will occur in international waters near Cyprus, hundreds of miles off Israel's coast.
A flotilla of approximately 60 boats with pro-Palestinian activists on board has left Turkey, heading for the Gaza coast. Israel's Navy is preparing for their arrival in the area.
"Congratulations to our Navy! I ordered them to prevent the Hamas supporters' flotilla from reaching Gaza's shores. The mission was a complete success. Not a single ship and not a single Hamas supporter reached our territory, or even our territorial waters. They were turned back and will return to their countries of origin. They will continue to watch Gaza on YouTube."

UPDATE 🔴
Israeli Navy and Shayetet 13 commandos boarded and seized more than 20 vessels overnight as they headed toward Gaza. Around 175 passengers were detained at sea, far from Israeli shores, and are being transported to Ashdod port before deportation. No unusual incidents during the operation.
Dozens of additional flotilla boats turned back after Israeli Navy warnings and entered the port of Crete. No vessels are currently en route to Gaza.
Israeli officials say the seized boats led what they call the "condom flotilla" and that they continue to monitor remaining vessels to prevent further attempts to breach the maritime blockade.
Israel's Navy detained approximately 175 activists from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after intercepting 21 of its 58 vessels near Crete overnight. The remaining boats have been warned to change course.
Israel's Foreign Ministry posted video showing activists "enjoying themselves aboard Israeli vessels" and said they are being transported peacefully to Israel. The ministry also published footage of "condoms and drugs" found on one of the boats.

Israeli Navy intelligence reveals how a team of four tracked Iranian warships across the Caspian Sea, enabling an IAF strike that destroyed six vessels, a naval command center, and a maintenance facility.
"I spoke to the pilot above the target. He asked me to confirm. I identified it, gave approval and he launched.
Within minutes, the vessels were destroyed."
The strike hit four missile boats, a frigate carrying torpedoes and a helicopter pad, and a support vessel. Israeli teams had tracked some targets for years.
"The challenge was finding the Iranian warships. We simply scanned the Caspian Sea until we identified them."
