The Israeli Foreign Ministry bid farewell and blessings on Friday to a flotilla that set sail from Tel Aviv in support of the 48 hostages still held by Hamas.
"As Shabbat begins, we lift our prayers — for their safe return, for peace in Israel, and for strength for Jewish communities worldwide," the ministry tweeted. "Our hearts are especially with the community of Manchester, after the terror attack on a synagogue over Yom Kippur."
The journey of the Israeli boats came in response to the Global Sumud Flotilla's attempt to dock in Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid. However, the flotilla was intercepted by Israel, and the passengers were detained, now awaiting deportation.
