GSF says Israeli Navy vessels intimated two lead boats
The Global Sumud Flotilla says that it has had its “first encounter” with Israeli Navy vessels which circled the fleet’s “lead boat for around six minutes” while remotely disabling its communication systems.
The Alma’s captain had to make “a strong evasive manoeuvre” to “avoid frontal collision”, the GSF said in a statement.
The military vessels then went on to do similar manoeuvres around the Sirius boat, “for a longer time until they left,” the statement said, adding that “there were reports of other military vessels throughout the night.”
The crew remain ready for similar encounters in the coming hours, the GSF said.
