04:36โขNavy Seizes Gaza Flotilla, Orders October 7 Screening
โจThe newspapers report on Israeli naval forces successfully seizing the Gaza-bound flotilla without resistance, with activists surrendering as Shayetet 13 commandos took control of the vessel "Madeline" (13tv, Davar, Haaretz, Maariv, Mako, now14, Srugim, Kipa, walla). Defense Minister Katz ordered the screening of October 7 "horror footage" to the 12 detained activists including Greta Thunberg supporters, stating they should see "exactly who is the terror organization they came to support" (13tv, Maariv, Mako, now14, Kipa). The Foreign Ministry provided the activists with sandwiches and water while dismissing the mission as a concluded "media show" rather than humanitarian aid, with sources describing it as a "media provocation" seeking publicity rather than assistance (13tv, Davar, Srugim, walla). The activists are being transported to Ashdod port for deportation to their countries of origin, with officials emphasizing the operation's smooth completion without injuries or violent confrontation.
