Last night, Israeli forces took control of the ship Adara, one of the vessels in the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. A Serbian student, Ognjen Marković, was on board, and his pre-recorded message was posted on X by students from the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade.
The flotilla published a video of Israeli soldiers boarding the All In.
Footage of the ships Florida and All In, which Israeli soldiers boarded, was also published. All crew members were taken away.
“The last moments before we lost contact with our comrades on the Dutch ship Mohamed Bar, which was sailing to Gaza on a humanitarian mission with the Al-Sumud convoy to break the brutal blockade,” the flotilla posted on X.

Israeli forces boarded several ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla and transported the activists to an Israeli port, ending the protest against the Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory, Index.hr reports.
One of the videos shows activist Greta Thunberg sitting on the deck surrounded by soldiers. This footage is from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was confirmed by Reuters.
The Swedish climate activist is the most prominent passenger in the pro-Palestinian flotilla.

Na ovom brodu nalazio se i naš kolega Ognjen Marković.
Ovo je Ognjenova poruka, uskoro objavljujemo dodatne informacije. pic.twitter.com/CcgHRmP1DW
Student Ognjen revealed why he joined the Gaza flotilla and sent a message to the authorities in Serbia
Ognjen Marković, a visual artist from Belgrade who is currently on the global Sumud flotilla with a mission to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians, explained to Mašina what inspired him to join the action despite the risks, and gave the latest information about the presence of the Italian, Spanish, and Turkish navies. “As with all other injustices, we can choose not to concern ourselves with them until they appear in our own backyard, or we can contribute to the fight for solidarity,” Marković emphasized.
“I have been following the situation in Gaza since the beginning of the genocide, and I was fundamentally informed about the Palestinian issue even before the last escalation. The crimes we are witnessing on social media, despite media cover-ups and the dissemination of shameless lies, cause unrest in every person with an ounce of empathy. As with all other injustices, we can choose not to concern ourselves with them until they appear in our own backyard, or we can contribute to the fight for solidarity,” Ognjen said.
“In that regard, I think that participating in the flotilla is the most I can do within my capabilities. I did not doubt the correctness of the decision to join the flotilla for a second, but I went through a few very difficult days confronting the fear of all potential outcomes. For the month I’ve been on this journey, I’ve been trying to deal with the circumstances I can influence. I’m mentally preparing for illegal arrest and other severe violations of my human rights,” he added.

Protests in support of the flotilla interception
People gathered in Greece, Italy, Germany, Tunisia, and Turkey to protest the Israeli interception of the flotilla.
Italian trade unions also called for a general strike on Friday to “protect the flotilla, constitutional values, and Gaza.”
The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the interception as a “terrorist act” and called for the perpetrators of the attack to be held accountable. Protests erupted in Istanbul.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro expelled all remaining Israeli diplomats from the country and condemned the interception as “Netanyahu’s international crime.”
Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port.

Flotilla: 30 ships still sailing strongly toward Gaza
The Gaza aid flotilla announced that dozens of its ships are still “sailing strongly” toward the Palestinian territory despite being intercepted by Israeli naval forces.
The Global Sumud Flotilla announced that most of its vessels continued their journey toward the coast of the Gaza Strip in the early morning hours of Thursday, despite the interruptions.
“30 ships are still sailing strongly toward Gaza, only 46 nautical miles away, despite continuous aggression by the Israeli occupation navy,” the flotilla posted on X at 3:20 a.m. local time (0020 GMT).
Agence France-Presse also quoted flotilla spokesperson Saif Abukeshk, who said that Israeli forces intercepted 13 ships with a total of about 200 people, many of whom were from Spain and Italy.
But in a video posted on Instagram, he said: “Our mission continues.” “They are determined,” he said of the remaining vessels. “They are motivated and are doing everything in their power to break the siege in the early morning hours.”
