‘Israel’ jams signals of freedom flotilla, prepares for interception
The International Committee for Breaking the Siege on Gaza expressed deep concern Sunday over what it described as a deliberate jamming of signals and location tracking of the aid ship Madleen by 'Israeli' forces. The committee warned that such actions threaten the safety of the 12 activists on board.
Hebrew media reported that the 'Israeli' navy is preparing to intercept the ship and tow it to Ashdod port to prevent it from reaching Gaza.

The Madleen is carrying humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, crutches, prosthetics for children, and water filters.
The committee urged the international community to intervene immediately to ensure the ship’s safe passage and warned that any escalation could endanger both the activists and civilians in Gaza.
They added that jamming the ship's signals violates international law, which protects freedom of navigation and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
