Israel's Interception and Continued Aid Commitment

Activist Omer Aslan of the 'Global Sumud Flotilla' stated that Israel's interception of 22 boats late Wednesday will not stop the remaining vessels from delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. Aslan described how his boat escaped the Israeli attacks and condemned Israel's actions as a 'brutal attack.'

Activists Undeterred by 'Brutal Attack'

Omer Aslan's remarks come as the Israeli navy attempts to enforce a blockade on Gaza by intercepting humanitarian vessels. The flotilla maintains that despite this incident, the remaining vessels intend to proceed to Gaza to deliver aid. This indicates that Israel's actions have not diminished the resolve of the humanitarian activists.
