Israel intercepted the Gaza-bound boat Madleen on Monday, carrying activists including Greta Thunberg, who aimed to raise awareness of food shortages in the blockaded territory. Following the interception, Israeli officials stated that the boat was redirected to Israeli shores, with passengers reported safe and unharmed but the limited aid onboard to be transferred to Gaza through approved channels. Amid growing international pressure for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, reports indicate ongoing violence, including Israeli attacks near aid distribution points, and the death of notable Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar.
