Dozens detained as flotilla attempts to break Gaza blockade

Israeli naval forces have boarded most of the vessels in a flotilla attempting to break the country’s blockade of Gaza. Dozens of people, including European lawmakers, were detained. The operation has drawn widespread condemnation. The Global Sumud Flotilla was the largest yet to attempt breaking the blockade. It comes at a time of growing criticism of Israel’s conduct in Gaza, where its offensive has devastated large areas and killed tens of thousands of people.
