Arabic version: قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي تواجه قافلة المساعدات إلى غزة بالرصاص المطاطي

Israeli naval forces are accused of firing ‘rubber bullets’ at activists on board the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla. The incident occurred as multiple boats came under fire during an operation launched by Israel to intercept them in the Mediterranean Sea.

A spokesperson for the flotilla reported that the activists faced hostile actions from the naval forces during their attempt to deliver aid. The confrontation highlights ongoing tensions in the region regarding humanitarian efforts and maritime operations.

According to Al Jazeera, the flotilla’s mission was aimed at providing assistance to Gaza, which has faced significant challenges in accessing essential supplies.

The use of rubber bullets raises questions about the methods employed by Israeli forces in these situations, as activists continue to navigate the complexities of delivering aid to those in need.
