Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The Al-Samoud/Al-Hurriya flotilla approached the coast of Gaza.
It is now about 150 nautical miles from the Gaza Strip, amid Israeli preparations to prevent its arrival.
Security sources reported on Wednesday that the process of stopping the naval convoy had begun with initial “technological” steps.
This comes after he was attacked by drones last week off the coast of Greece.
Unknown ships
In turn, the fleet, which seeks to deliver aid to Gaza, announced that unknown ships approached several of its boats.
He added that some of them were sailing without lights.
But he later confirmed in a post on Telegram that the ships had left, and that the participants had implemented security measures in anticipation of a possible interception.
Italy announced on Tuesday that it had withdrawn a military ship accompanying the fleet, making activists vulnerable to threats from Israeli forces.
Italy also urged fleet members to accept a settlement proposal to deliver aid at a port in Cyprus and avoid confrontation with Israeli forces.
While fleet representatives repeatedly rejected this offer.
40 civilian boats
It is worth noting that the “Global Resilience” fleet, which set off from Barcelona late last August, and which consists of more than 40 civilian boats carrying parliamentarians, lawyers and activists, including Swedish climate activist Greta Tonbury, aims to break the Israeli siege imposed on the Palestinian Strip.
Organizers also include the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, along with regional initiatives such as Maghreb Sumud Flotilla and Sumud Nusantara.
In contrast, Israel, which had previously banned the entry of a similar fleet several months ago, confirmed this.
She also arrested a number of his activists and deported them, saying that she would not allow aid to enter Gaza.
