Israeli navy stopped a group of over 40 ships, called the Global Sumud Flotilla, about 75 miles off Gaza’s coast on October 1, 2025. These ships carried around 500 activists, some politicians, and aid like baby formula and medicine, aiming to break Israel’s sea blockade of Gaza. The navy boarded at least six ships, arrested everyone on them, and took them to Ashdod port for questioning. They’ll likely be sent back to their home countries soon.
The activists wanted to deliver aid directly to Gaza, but Israel said the aid could go through their official channels instead. The activists refused, wanting to challenge the blockade. Israel says the blockade is needed for security against Hamas, a group they call terrorists. Some countries and groups are upset, calling the arrests unfair, while others support Israel’s actions. No one was hurt, but the situation is tense, and people are watching what happens next.
