The Israeli Navy has intercepted the final vessel of the Sumud Flotilla headed for the Gaza Strip.
The organisers of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla said Israel intercepted its last remaining boat on Friday, after the interceptions of its fellow vessels drew protests worldwide.
"Marinette, the last remaining boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla, was intercepted at 10:29am (07:29 GMT) local time, approximately 42.5 nautical miles from Gaza," the flotilla said, adding that Israeli naval forces had intercepted all 42 of its vessels.
The Israeli navy began intercepting them on Wednesday, and an Israeli official said the following day that boats with more than 400 people on board had been prevented from reaching the coastal territory.
