According to a report by the Global Times on the 2nd, a video released by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs showed that the flotilla of Swedish climate activist Greta Tumberg, known as the "environmental girl", was raided by Israeli troops on the 1st local time. She and her companions have been detained by the Israeli army who boarded the ship.

Thunberg's "Global Tenacity Fleet" stated that in the sea 70 nautical miles away from the Gaza coastline, Thunberg's "Alma", as well as the other two main ships "Surius" and "Ada" Several ships, including the Dala, were attacked by the Israeli army.

Seif Abukshek, spokesman for the Global Endurance Fleet, confirmed that the fleet has 44 vessels, 13 of which are currently seized by the Israeli Army, but the subsequent vessels are still moving toward Gaza. Real-time tracking data from the vessels show that at least 26 vessels are still near the coast of Gaza. A vessel in the fleet called "Mikeno" has broken into the waters near Gaza, but it is currently unclear whether the vessel has been intercepted by the Israeli Army.

More than 200 people from 37 countries were detained.

The "Global Resilience Fleet" is composed of activists from many countries. In addition to Tombert, members also include Manla Mandela, grandson of former South African President Nelson Mandela, Ada Kolo, former mayor of Barcelona, Spain, and several members of the European Parliament.

The flotilla set sail from Spain in September in an attempt to break Israel's maritime blockade and carry humanitarian aid to Gaza. Activists say they want to break Israel's siege of Gaza and open a humanitarian corridor to deliver aid to Gaza from the sea.

According to the report, these activists had long anticipated confrontation with the Israeli army, so they practised in advance how to circumnavigate with the Israeli army while avoiding violence. In fact, as early as September 24, the fleet was attacked by drones and communications interfered. Since then, Italy and Spain have separately sent naval ships to the waters of the "Global Resilience Fleet".

A spokesman for Syriza said more than 200 people from 37 countries were on board, including 30 Spaniards, 22 Italians, 21 Turks and 12 Malaysians, and that while some were arrested, we will continue to carry out the mission.

When the Israeli military intercepted the vessel on the night of the day, activists raised their hands.

After the interception, politicians from many countries condemned it. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs severely condemned Israel's interception of the flotilla bound for Gaza, saying that Israel's military actions against civilian ships in international waters would endanger the lives of innocent civilians. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that it will take all measures to ensure the release of detained Turkish citizens. "The Turkish government will take legal action against the perpetrators."

Irish Foreign Minister Simon Harris said after the incident he had talked with other EU countries involved, ¡°We will focus on helping Irish citizens in the fleet.¡±

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar posted on social media condemning Israel's "intimidation and coercion" of the flotilla. Anwar said that Israel's obstruction of humanitarian action is a contempt for the rights of Palestinians and the conscience of the world."Malaysia will use all means to hold Israel accountable."

Craig Murray, the former head of the British Department of Foreign Affairs, Federal Affairs and Development¡¯s maritime department, said on a social network that Israel¡¯s move was illegal, ¡°The fleet was in international waters at the time and Israel had no jurisdiction ... intercepting ships and abducting crew members in the open sea was a crime.¡±

After the news that the "Global Fortitude Fleet" was detained by the Israeli army in international waters came out, protests and demonstrations set off on the streets of many places around the world. According to reports, from Europe to South America, from Madrid, Spain to Buenos Aires, Argentina, protesters took to the streets to protest against Israel's interception of a flotilla bound for Gaza.

Organizers of the Global Fortitude Fleet have accused Israel of violating international law, saying it restricts the group's aid to Gaza. Indeed, Israel has imposed a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas seized control of it in 2007. Since 2010, activists have been trying to find ways to enter Gaza by sea. In June this year, Israel intercepted the "Madeleine" carrying Thunberg and others, detained the ship and crew, and expelled all the people on board.

Israel has previously warned that it will never allow a ¡°global resilient fleet¡± to arrive in Gaza, and has also accused the fleet of affiliation with Hamas, which fleet organizers have denied.

The Israeli militaryly warned activists on board by radio: ¡°If you want to ship goods to Gaza, you can go through the established channels. You can send the goods to the (Israeli) port of Ashdod and the goods will be shipped to Gaza after security checks.¡±
