They were warned to turn around
IDF boards Greta Thunberg’s ‘Madleen’ as it heads toward Israel
The IDF had boarded the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, Madleen, the ship’s operators said on Telegram early Monday morning at around 3 a.m., with everyone on board reportedly arrested.
The IDF had previously estimated that the flotilla would arrive in Israeli territory an hour earlier.
The Madleen’s official tracker showed the ship edging closer to the Gaza coastline. The IDF’s naval unit, Shayetet 13, has already begun training for the ship’s boarding.
At 1:17 a.m., the flotilla’s Telegram account reported that alarms sounded on the ship, and life jackets were being prepared. The activists on board include Greta Thunberg, European lawmaker Rima Hassan, and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham. (snip)
Because the ship is entering waters under Israeli jurisdiction, it necessitates a response by the Israeli Navy. The vessel left a week ago from the city of Catania in Sicily. The IDF has stated that it would intercept the vessel before it reaches Gaza. The activists on board reported that they would attempt to livestream the IDF’s takeover of the vessel.
Defense Minister Israel Katz also clarified that Israel will prevent the ship’s entry into Gaza. The IDF has completed its final preparations in recent hours to prevent the vessel from reaching the shores of Gaza.
“Greta the antisemite and her friends, I say clearly: you’d better turn back – because you will not reach Gaza,” he said.
St. Greta switched from being a climate cult leader into a world class Jew hater.
I’ve yet to see a video with the sailboat using its sails. Also, their flotilla sailed motored right past some Sudanese refugees fleeing an actual genocide and offered no help.
