Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Israel Orders Military to Block Gaza Aid Boat Carrying Greta Thunberg
Caption: Israel Orders Military to Block Gaza Aid Boat Carrying Greta Thunberg. Israel’s defense minister has ordered the military to block a humanitarian boat headed to Gaza — carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg and other volunteers. The UK-flagged vessel Madleen, run by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left Italy with supplies like baby formula, medical items, and water kits for Gaza civilians. The group calls it a peaceful mission of civil resistance. But Minister Israel Katz labeled it a “hate flotilla,” instructing the military to use any means necessary to prevent it reaching shore, claiming the move is to stop aid from reaching terror groups. In response, organizers accused Israel of threatening civilians and vowed not to be intimidated. The ship was last reported about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Meanwhile, deadly violence continues on land — with at least five people killed Sunday while trying to collect aid.
