The Handala ship, which manages the Filmistine Movement for Freedom, sailed to Israel today after the Israeli army was interrupted while heading to Gaza transferring humanitarian aid, a French journalist noted.

Members of his crew (between the two MPs of the French Party of disobedient France) were raised by the Israeli authorities.

The Israeli NGO Adalah told AFP that it had sent lawyers to the port of Asdod, in central Israel, and asked the authorities to speak with passengers on the ship, but in vain.

“After 12 hours at sea, after Handala’s illegal interception, the Israeli authorities confirmed the ship’s arrival in the port of Asdod,” this Non -Governmental Organization, which specializes in providing legal assistance, explains in a press release.

“Despite repeated demands, the Israeli authorities have denied Adalah’s lawyers to access activists held to provide them with legal assistance,” he added.

“Adalah re -confirms that activists on board the Handala ship were involved in a peaceful political mission aimed at breaking the illegal exclusion imposed by Israel on Gaza. The ship was intercepted in international waters and their detention is a blatant violation of international law. “

Earlier, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that the country’s Navy had arrested Handala in order to prevent it from entering the marine area off the Gaza Strip. “The ship is safely directed to the Israeli coast. All passengers are bodies, “he assured.

Yesterday, a video shown by Handala was shown by Israeli soldiers boarding the ship.

The ship began its journey into an attempt to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza by sea and to carry a small amount of humanitarian aid to the inhabitants of the enclave, which has been destroyed after 21 months of war.

Before being arrested, Handala crew members had stated, in a message they had published in X, that they would start a hunger strike if the Israeli army had intercepted the ship and arrested its passengers.

Activists from 10 countries and journalists traveled on board.
