Overview

• Organizers said the multinational convoy restarted its journey after repairs, counting about 47 civilian boats and declaring the lineup complete.
• Several Greek-flagged vessels joined the effort as the flotilla regrouped south of Crete before pushing on toward Gaza.
• Spain has sent the corvette Furor and Italy has deployed the frigates Fasan and Alpino to monitor the convoy and assist in case of incidents.
• Italy’s foreign minister warned it is dangerous to approach Israeli waters and urged an aid transfer in Cyprus, a proposal the organizers rejected.
• Israel maintains it will prevent any breach of its naval blockade, while activists reported drone strikes off Crete last week that damaged boats but caused no injuries.
