Earlier, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), the activist group operating the vessel, posted on Telegram, that the Madleen was “under assault in international waters.”

Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white irritant substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio.”

Before communication was apparently lost with the Madleen, a number of activists on board the vessel posted video and images of a white substance on the deck of the boat.

Rima Hassan, a French member of the Europena parliament, posted this image to her X account in the last hour.

1. Completely unsurprising. This was always going to be the obvious conclusion

Still sad.

6. Yep

There was zero chance they were going to break the blockade.

2. Israel has no legal standing to attack a ship in international waters. I believe that is considered an act of war.

4. USS Liberty

Much like they attacked the USS Liberty in open waters in 1967.

5. Yep.

9. Or just another "war CRIME" committed by the "state" of Israel.

3. More warmongering by war criminal Netanyahu.

Guess they're going to deprive the Palestinians of food and medical aid.

Ehnic cleansing by starvation.

7. Netanyahu's legacy will not be forgotten. The sooner the good people in Israel can remove him from

power and prosecute him and his thuggish enables, the better.

What he's done will not be forgotten even if he and his thugs succeed in burying Gaza in the obscenity of a resort that Trump likes to talk about.

8. Yep, just absolute war crimes daily.
