The Madleen, a humanitarian aid vessel launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was intercepted by the Israeli military approximately 185 km from Gaza. The crew, which includes climate advocate Greta Thunberg and various activists, was detained and taken to Ashdod, where they are reportedly held in solitary confinement. The Madleen was part of a continuous effort by flotillas to break Israel's naval blockade, which has been in place since 2007, with limited successes in the past. This incident underscores the ongoing humanitarian struggles faced by Palestinians and international tensions surrounding the blockade.
