INSIGHT

Historic Flotilla Interception

Israel intercepted 43 of 44 humanitarian flotilla ships in international waters, breaking a long-standing naval blockade precedent.
This would mark the first humanitarian vessel reaching Gaza waters since Israel's 2009 blockade if any reached Gaza territory.

ANECDOTE

Reporter Onboard The Sirius

Ryan Grim described the flotilla's month-long journey from Spain, pickup in Tunisia, and drone attacks on ships en route.
DropSite's editor Alex Colson livestreamed from The Sirius showing activists discarding knives and preparing nonviolent responses.

INSIGHT

Precision Force Without Mass Casualties

Israel used drone strikes and crowd-control measures against the flotilla without causing mass casualties, signaling precise capabilities.
That precision underscores Israel's technical ability to limit casualties in Gaza if it chose to do so.
