Israeli Commandos Secure Gaza-Bound Flotilla As Activists Ordered To Cooperate During High-Seas Takeover Operation
Shayetet 13 fighters continued their operation Tuesday to intercept a Turkish-led flotilla attempting to reach Gaza, with Israeli forces taking control of dozens of boats carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists.
According to audio aired by Kan News, Israeli naval teams were heard approaching the vessels, coordinating instructions, and reassuring passengers as activists put on life jackets. One commando told those onboard, “You are safe and protected,” while instructing them to move forward and cooperate.
Israeli forces reportedly took control of around 40 boats on Monday, with more than 400 participants aboard. Security officials believe only a small number of vessels remain, and the operation is expected to conclude soon.
