Many of the live feeds from the vessels participating in the Sumud Flotilla have now been cut as suspected Israeli vessels surround the ships trying to break the blockade on Gaza.
Our sister channel Al Jazeera Mubasher says that they have lost connection with their correspondent Hayat Yamani, who is on board the Sirius, one of the flotilla vessels.

The flotilla’s steering committee member Yasemin Acar says that Israeli vessels are now surrounding the Alma, one of the ships in the flotilla.
“The IOF [Israel] is now surrounding the Alma vessel on both sides of the boat, they are close, we are getting into position and ready to be intercepted,” Acar said.
i like how everyone just shits on any laws of anything, warfare, maritime working since 19th century, just do wild stuff, the hegemon will cover your ass. while opposing side just going to judge with suspicious bag of dollars and a gun to their head
Anglos have been shitting on international maritime law for way longer than the 19th century. They were the ones who invented legalized government-backed piracy and euphemistically called it "privateering".

We can sadly confirm the Global Sumud Flotilla vessels Sirous, Alma, Spectra, Hoga, Adra, and Deir Yassin have all been seized and boarded by the Israeli Navy.
Activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla shared a video they said showed Israeli vessels approaching the fleet to intercept it before reaching Gaza. Such interceptions by Israeli forces in international waters are considered illegal.
