Flotilla organizers told Reuters<\/em> that Israeli Navy commandos on Monday boarded 39 vessels in the eastern Mediterranean, some 250 nautical miles (463 km) from the Gaza Strip, and arrested those aboard, including 44 Turkish nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Israel\u2019s Foreign Ministry shared\u00a0video footage\u00a0showing the activists celebrating and hugging aboard an IDF ship after being detained. \u201cSo far, no aid has been found on their boats,\u201d the MFA tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc83\ud83c\udffc\u201cOops I did it again!\u201d Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu monitored the interception attempt from the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, the Prime Minister\u2019s Office said on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The premier \u201cwas briefed by Navy commander Vice Admiral Eyal Harel, and watched our forces take control of the terrorism-supporting flotilla boats that had left Turkey and which intended to break the naval blockade on the Gaza coast,\u201d according to a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think you are doing an outstanding job, both with the first flotilla and with this one, and effectively neutralizing a malicious plan designed to break the isolation we have imposed on Hamas terrorists in Gaza,\u201d Netanyahu told the naval commandos over the radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He was referring to the several missions led by Global Sumud (\u201cSteadfastness\u201d) Flotilla group, which were intercepted by the Israeli Navy over the past months, with participants detained and deported, including Swedish far-left activist Greta Thunberg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou are doing this with great success, and I must say also quietly, and certainly with less prominence than our enemies expected\u2014so, heartfelt congratulations,\u201d he added. \u201cKeep going until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jerusalem maintains that its naval blockade on Gaza, imposed on Jan. 3, 2009, is compatible with international law. It aims to prevent weapons, terrorists and money from entering or exiting the Gaza Strip by sea. The enclave has been ruled by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists since 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Akiva Van Koningsveld\/JNS.org The Israel Defense Forces jammed the radios of the Turkish-led Gaza flotilla and broadcast Britney Spears\u2019 \u201cOops! \u2026 I Did It Again,\u201d a source familiar with the matter confirmed to JNS on Tuesday.
