Israeli navy seizes control of Gaza boat trying to break blockade

The Israeli navy stops and seizes control of a Palestinian protest boat this afternoon, organizers say, as those aboard sought to breach the blockade of Gaza.

“Israeli forces surrounded it and intercepted it,” Salah Abdul Atti, one of the organizers, tells AFP.

Communications had been lost with the boat for more than 30 minutes, he adds.
