Israeli Navy intercepts last of Global Sumud Flotilla vessels, moves forward with swift deportation of all passengers

Jerusalem, Oct 3 (UNI) The Israeli Navy on Friday intercepted the last of the Global Sumud Flotilla's 42 vessels attempting to breach its maritime blockade of the Gaza Strip, which had sailed to the war-torn enclave citing solidarity with the Palestinians in face of Israeli cruelty. Authorities in Jerusalem have said that over four of the roughly 470 detained activists have already been deported.
The final ship, the Marinette, lagged behind due to mechanical issues before being boarded by Shayetet 13 naval commandos. Organisers confirmed that all flotilla vessels had now been intercepted, while no violence was reported by the IDF personnel, who were instructed to exercise special caution, reports Times of Israel.
The Navy's interception of the flotilla vessel came in the wake of organisers rejecting all IDF calls to turn back from what they had designated as a 'critically dangerous zone', and vowed to sail on to the war-torn enclave citing their solidarity.
