The Flotilla Invasion to Arrive on Yom Kippur

 7 Tishrei 5786

It feels like a multiple-post blog day to me...

...The “Sumud” flotilla, which reportedly includes over 500 social activists, among them climate activist Greta Thunberg, resumed its journey toward Gaza earlier this month. The timing of its expected arrival, during Yom Kippur, adds a layer of logistical complexity for Israel, which views the entire operation as an organized provocation.

Israeli security forces are making extensive preparations. IDF naval forces, including Shayetet 13 commandos, have conducted drills simulating the takeover of vessels at sea with an emphasis on minimizing harm to the participants. The flotilla is currently estimated to include about 50 vessels, making it the largest attempt yet to "break the naval blockade" on Gaza.

...Israel has formally demanded that the organizers reroute any humanitarian aid through designated ports like Ashkelon, Cyprus, or even the Vatican. However, the organizers have refused, reinforcing Israel's view that the flotilla's goal is political confrontation. Security officials have made it clear: "We will not allow the activists to break the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. Shayetet 13 and Navy fighters are preparing to take over the vessels should they approach the Gaza Strip."  (Source)
