Activists report signal jamming as they say Israeli vessels nearing Gaza aid flotilla

Several vessels are approaching an international flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, two sources on board the flotilla tell Reuters.

Israel has repeatedly warned the flotilla to turn back from its naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition behind the effort issues a statement saying that the Israeli interception “may be within the hour.”

Radars show “a concentration of roughly 12 unidentified vessels, five to fifteen miles from the flotilla,” the statement says.

“Contact has seemingly been disconnected with some flotilla vessels, with some experiencing signal jamming.”
