Late Tuesday: Gaza flotilla rebuffs calls to stop, as Israel readies for complex interception
[IsraelTimes] Italy’s calls for 47-vessel convoy to stop are ‘sabotage,’ say organizers; Navy prepares to seize hundreds of activists, as some 600 police to take part in detaining, deporting them
The large flotilla attempting to break the maritime blockade on the Gazoo Strip rejected Italia’s calls to stop late Tuesday, saying it was nearing a "critical zone" and expecting Israel to take action soon to stop its advance.
Meanwhile,
...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger...
Israeli authorities have been readying to intercept the many vessels and take the hundreds of activists to shore to be deported or detained, in a complex operation that could potentially come to a head during Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism, which starts Wednesday evening.
The 47-boat Global Sumud Flotilla is set to reach the Strip this week. It is carrying over 500 activists, including Swedish campaigner Greta "Pippi" Thunberg
...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now...
, as well as parliamentarians and lawyers.
The Israeli Navy is set to intercept the boats, and in the past has done so well before the activists were able to get close to Gaza’s coast. Israel has previously dismissed the flotillas as publicity stunts, and on Tuesday, it accused some key participants of having ties to Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...The flotilla is approaching the 150-nautical-mile (172-mile, 278-kilometer) limit off Gaza’s Mediterranean coast. Flotilla participants told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named they expect Israeli authorities to intervene as they approach a "critical zone" late Tuesday. An Italian spokeswoman for the flotilla, Maria Elena Delia, said in a video on Instagram that "Israel will probably attack us tonight, because all the signals point to this happening."
The Sumud flotilla is being escorted by one Spanish and two Italian navy vessels, which their respective governments have clarified are not expected to use military force.
The Italian defense ministry said on Tuesday that the country’s ships would stop following the flotilla once it gets within 150 nautical miles of the shore.
And Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni urged the flotilla to stop immediately, saying that the aid mission could undermine hopes for peace based on US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
’s 20-point proposal for ending the war, rebuilding Gaza and moving toward limited Paleostinian statehood.
The organizers claimed the Italian statements amounted to "sabotage."
"[The Italian government] is choosing to escort us only to the point of danger and then try to peel us away, delivering us back to shore empty-handed, as Israel continues to slaughter and starve the Paleostinian people with complete impunity," the flotilla said in a statement. "We say again: the flotilla sails onward."
AFTER ACTIVISTS DETAINED, SOME VESSELS MAY BE SUNK
IDF front man Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said last week that the Navy was ready to intercept the boats, although he noted that it would be a greater challenge than past flotilla attempts due to the number of vessels.
Due to the large number of vessels, the Navy is expected to board the boats, detain the activists, and bring them to one large Navy ship, and from there, bring them to Ashdod Port to be deported from the country. Some of the activists’ vessels may be towed to Ashdod Port as well, though military sources said they expect that some may be sunk at sea by the Navy.
Hebrew media reported Tuesday that some 600 coppers were taking part in the effort to take the participants, once they are brought to Ashdod Port, to a facility in southern Israel during Yom Kippur, and to then deport those who agree to be deported on Thursday evening.
Those who refuse will be dealt with by Interior Ministry staff using a special tribunal to be formed within the Ketziot jail, according to Channel 12.
The report added that around eight ambulances were set to be ready near the coast in case flotilla participants require medical attention, and that several hospitals have been put on high alert.

EXPOSED: Official Hamas documents found in the Gaza Strip - now revealed for the first time - prove Hamas’s direct involvement in the funding and execution of the “Sumud” flotilla to Gaza

Text from the post:
Hamas documents that were discovered in the Gaza Strip, and are being revealed for the first time, show a direct link between the flotilla leaders and the Hamas terrorist organization.
While Hamas in the Gaza Strip is responsible for what happens inside the Strip, Hamas Abroad is responsible for activity outside the Gaza Strip, with emphasis on the PCPA organization, which is subordinate to Hamas and serves as a wing of the movement.
The PCPA (Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad) was established in 2018 and functions as Hamas’ representative body abroad, operating de facto as Hamas’ embassies. The organization operates under the pretense of civilian cover and is responsible, on behalf of Hamas, for mobilizing actions against Israel, including violent demonstrations, marches against Israel, and demonstration and provocation flotillas.
The first official Hamas document was found in the Gaza Strip - a letter from 2021 signed by Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, directly and explicitly calling on the PCPA chairman for unity. In the letter, Haniyeh publicly endorses the PCPA organization. It should be noted that Israel designated the PCPA as a terrorist organization in 2021 due to it being a wing of Hamas.
The second official Hamas document is a list of PCPA operatives, some of whom are high-ranking well-known Hamas operatives. Among the names on the list are Zaher Birawi, who serves as Head of the PCPA’s Hamas sector in the UK, and who is known as a leader of the demonstration flotillas to the Gaza Strip over the past 15 years (number 19 in the document), and Saif Abu Kashk (number 25 in the document), an operative from the organization in Spain. This document was found in a Hamas outpost in the Gaza Strip and proves again their direct connection between the flotilla leaders and Hamas.
In addition to being a Hamas-aligned PCPA operative, Abu Kashk is the CEO of Cyber Neptune, a front company in Spain that owns dozens of the ships participating in the “Sumud” flotilla. Thus, these ships are secretly owned by Hamas.
