The interception began late Wednesday, October 1, when Israeli naval officers issued radio warnings: “This is the Israeli Navy. If you wish to deliver aid to Gaza, you may do so through the established channels. By Thursday morning, most vessels were secured, with a few stragglers facing technical issues or remaining at a distance. None of the provocation yachts succeeded in entering the active combat zone or breaching the lawful naval blockade. If it approaches, its attempt to enter the active combat zone and breach the blockade will be prevented."
