The Freedom Flotilla Alliance said that the sirens were launched on its ship Madeleine heading to the Gaza Strip, and that Israeli boats approached him.
The deputy in the European Parliament, Rima Hassan, broadcast pictures of the launch of the sirens on the ship Madeleine and said, “They are here”, in reference to the Israeli occupation forces’ objection.
For its part, the United Nations Human Rights Association in Palestine, Francesca Albranzee, announced that quick Israeli boats had reached the ship Madeleine. Albanizi added on the X platform that 5 Israeli boats surround the Freedom Fleet now.
The international decision indicated that the captain of the ship, Madeleine, directs the team with the commitment of calm, sitting and wearing the survival jackets, and indicated that the ship team informed Israeli soldiers that they were carrying humanitarian aid and that they will leave safely.
The Israeli Army Radio quoted a military source as saying that the fleet does not comply with the army’s instructions and is trying to continue to sail towards Gaza, according to its claim.
Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed the ship Madeleine, and said that he ordered the army not to allow its arrival in Gaza, and that Israel would act every means against any attempt to break the siege on the Strip.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation quoted a senior security source on Sunday that the army intends to control peacefully on the ship Madeleine, which is currently approaching the coast of Gaza, dragging it to a port in Ashdod, arresting activists and then traveling on the same night outside Israel.

Ship 36
Madeleine sailed in early June from the Italian port of Catania towards the Gaza Strip, on a trip aimed at breaking the siege imposed on Israel.
This ship carries 12 activists of multiple nationalities, including Al -Jazeera correspondent, Mubasher, colleague Omar Fayyad, in addition to humanitarian aid that includes food, medicine and medical equipment.
Madeleine is the 36th ship in the Freedom Flotilla coalition, which aims to break the Israeli blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip since 2007.
The ship was named after “Madeleine Kallab”, the first Palestinian girl who was a professional in fishing in the Gaza Strip, and she lost her father and source of livelihood after the outbreak of the Israeli war in October 2023.
