Israeli military seized 22 vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla carrying approximately 175 activists in international waters near Crete on Wednesday. Most detainees were released in Greece, but two activists—Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Ávila—remain in Israeli custody. Israel characterized the operation as necessary enforcement of its naval blockade; flotilla organizers called it unlawful interception in international waters.
