Israeli naval forces have seized the last boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla that was carrying aid to Gaza, media reports have stated.
The final vessel of the flotilla, sailing under the Polish flag with six people on board, was intercepted about 43 nautical miles from Gaza’s waters. Media reports said that it was the only boat still en route after others had been stopped.
Since Wednesday, Israeli forces have seized 43 boats and detained around 500 activists. Reports said more than 200 of them have been transferred to prison. Among those detained is Pakistan’s former senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan.
Israeli media reported that 200 flotilla activists will be moved to a prison in the Negev desert until deportation.
However, there has been no confirmation yet of Mushtaq Ahmed Khan’s transfer to jail.
