Israel says to block Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg

Israel has ordered its military to prevent the humanitarian ship Madleen, which includes activists like Greta Thunberg, from reaching Gaza, with Defence Minister Israel Katz labeling the group as “Hamas propaganda mouthpieces.” The vessel, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, aimed to deliver aid amidst the ongoing blockade, which Israel asserts is necessary to prevent weapons from reaching Hamas. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Israeli attacks reportedly killed at least 10 civilians, with the death toll from the war reaching over 54,880, according to Hamas-run health authorities.
