Boat from intercepted Gaza flotilla docks in Cyprus

A boat from a flotilla that had attempted to break Israel’s blockade on Gaza and was intercepted by Israel, has docked in Cyprus, the Mediterranean island’s government says.

The vessel carrying 21 foreigners requested to dock in Larnaca for refuelling and humanitarian reasons, a government spokesperson says on X.

The spokesperson does not identify the boat or say whether it was among those intercepted by the Israeli Navy.

After registering all the passengers, Cyprus provided for their basic needs and offered consular assistance, he adds.
