Israel intercepts boats carrying Gaza aid : IDF releases video of Greta Thunberg; footage shows vessel sprayed with water cannons - The Times of India
The Israeli military has intercepted vessels attempting to deliver aid to Gaza, releasing footage that also features climate activist Greta Thunberg. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the boats were stopped at sea and sprayed with water cannons before being redirected. The incident adds to the ongoing tension surrounding humanitarian aid access to Gaza amid the broader conflict. Thunberg, who has been vocal about Palestinian rights in recent months, appeared in a video linked to the mission, drawing further international attention. Israel has defended its actions by citing security concerns, claiming the boats could be misused to transport materials for militant groups. Humanitarian organizations, however, argue that blocking aid only worsens the crisis for civilians in Gaza. The confrontation underscores the ongoing clash between Israel’s security policies and global calls for urgent humanitarian assistance in the conflict zone.
