Israel intercepted another flotilla attempting to break the naval blockade and reach Gaza. This comes just days after another fleet was intercepted.

Three women from Newfoundland are believed to be among those detained by Israeli forces on Wednesday, part of a flotilla that had sailed toward Gaza in an attempt to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver aid to the region.

Early on Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led fighters launched a multipronged terrorist attack on Israel. The resulting war in Gaza has created a humanitarian catastrophe.

Protests are being held in several countries protesting the war in Gaza and calling for its end as Israelis mark two years since the Hamas attack on Oct. 7, 2023.

Israel assesses that Hamas may not be able to find and return all the remaining dead hostages in Gaza, according to three Israeli sources, a fact that may complicate efforts to reach a deal to end the war.

Mamdani called for the return of the hostages​ and mourned the loss of lives on the day of the attack, while also condemning the Israeli government's response.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Six South African activists who were detained by Israel while attempting to reach Gaza as part of an aid flotilla said Wednesday they were subjected to harsher treatment than other detainees because of South Africa’s role in a genocide case against Israel.
