Women’s boat to Gaza taken over by female troops

Israeli media, some quoting unnamed military officials, confirm the women’s boat to Gaza has been intercepted some 56 kilometers (35 miles) off the coast.

The boat, which had 13 women aboard, was taken over by an all-female squad of soldiers, a first for the IDF.

No violence was reported in the operation.
