The Israeli Navy has completed its operation to stop the Global Sumud Flotilla from breaching the Gaza maritime blockade, with a dramatic new video capturing the interception of the mission’s final vessel, the Marinette.
Footage obtained by journalist Itay Blumental reveals the precise moments Shayetet 13 (Naval Commando) fighters boarded the yacht, securing the last group of activists attempting to reach the besieged strip.
Last Vessel Neutralized at Sea
The video shows the approach of the Israeli naval ship toward the civilian vessel, as the passengers on the Marinette are seen gathering at the stern of the boat in preparation for the confrontation.
As the Navy craft maneuvers into position, a voice is heard over a loudspeaker relaying demands and seeking information: "How many of you are there? Is everyone on board?"
The climax of the footage shows elite Shayetet 13 commandos boarding the Marinette and immediately taking control of the ship. Their commands to the activists were abrupt and non-negotiable, heard clearly in the recording: "Don't move!"
