The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported on Thursday that they had taken control of 41 ships and arrested some 400 activists from the Gaza flotilla, which attempted to break the Israeli maritime blockade on the Gaza Strip.
"Forces of the Shayetet 13 naval commando unit, the Missile Ship Fleet, and Snapir harbor security unit, along with other Navy forces, were involved in intercepting the flotilla," the army added. The six largest vessels in the flotilla were intercepted first, with the smaller ones being tackled later.
All of the vehicles are being towed to Ashdod Port, and the activists have been arrested and sent there to be deported from Israel.
