The Freedom Flotilla Coalition reported that their vessel, Madleen, carrying aid for Gaza, was attacked in international waters. The coalition alleged that quadcopters surrounded the ship and sprayed irritants, while communications were jammed. Israeli officials claimed that the ship was given instructions to change course to avoid breaching a naval blockade around Gaza, asserting that humanitarian aid deliveries must occur through designated channels at Ashdod port. Tensions remain high as both parties provide conflicting accounts of the incident.
