The Global Sumud Flotilla said Monday evening that Israeli forces were attempting to attack Gaza-bound humanitarian aid vessels off the coast of Greece, citing escalating surveillance and intimidation at sea.
In a statement, the group said the Freedom Flotilla Coalition fleet—currently sailing off Greece to join the Global Sumud mission toward Gaza—is under “active military surveillance and intimidation.”
At 19:27 Palestine time, four vessels reported a military helicopter circling their position, the statement said. At 21:53, participants reported three drones overhead and an unidentified ship in the distance that had deliberately turned off its navigation lights
