The final vessel of the 42-strong aid flotilla seeking to break the Israeli longstanding naval restriction on Gaza has been intercepted by Israel's defense forces.

Protest Interception and Deportation Measures

Per official declarations, measures are presently in progress to expel the around four hundred fifty activists currently in holding. Among those held are several Italy's lawmakers who are projected to be repatriated to Italy on a regular flight.

Remaining Vessel Information

Video from the previous evening showed the last ship being manned by multiple activists, featuring three Turkish nationals, a Germany's citizen, and an Oman's activist. The Australian captain of the vessel declared via live stream: "We have a team of very tough Turkey's crew aboard... we're planning to persist in our direction."

According to a flotilla official, the vessel had become part of the flotilla late after bad weather forced it to return to dock in the Spanish city.

Previous Background

This stoppage marks the nearest any unauthorized aid mission has come to the Gaza shoreline since Israel established its maritime embargo in 2009. The boat was stopped when it was calculated to be forty-two point five nautical miles from the Gaza's waters.

Earlier endeavors by humanitarian workers to break the naval restriction have been halted by military action. In 2010, ten Turkey's humanitarians were killed when Israel's military units stormed the Mavi Marmara as it led an humanitarian mission toward the Gaza Strip.

Additional Boat Details

A second vessel called another participant appeared to have entered into Palestinian coastal area, stationary several maritime miles off the beach before being apprehended. Nevertheless, organizers mentioned they had lost contact with the vessel's personnel several hours before.

"It could be a monitoring error or a equipment problem with the monitoring," remarked a spokesperson. "We will only have confirmation after speaking with the personnel, which is unfeasible at present as they are being detained by Israel's officials."

Current Circumstances

All detained participants from the mission are being moved to Israeli territory where they will face removal proceedings. Some individuals on this latest attempt, featuring prominent activist the environmental campaigner, have been earlier apprehended by Israel's forces while seeking to violate the blockade.

Historically, activists detained by Israel have generally not been faced legal charges and their presence has been handled as an border control concern rather than a judicial violation.
