A Spanish activist on board one of several vessels sailing toward the Gaza Strip said an unidentified military ship approached the convoy at sea, triggering security procedures among participants.
Pablo Quesada Martín posted on X that a vessel appearing to be military was detected near the flotilla, prompting the crew to activate precautionary measures while continuing the mission.
The flotilla is made up of civilian boats carrying activists aiming to challenge the maritime blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
According to the activist’s account, onboard teams followed established protocols after the sighting. No confirmation has been provided regarding interception or direct contact with the vessel.
The identity and origin of the ship remain unverified, and there has been no official response confirming the incident.
Attempts to reach Gaza by sea have frequently been intercepted in previous years, with activists reporting detentions or forced diversions during similar missions.
