According to reports, IDF forces raided the ship at sea and arrested everyone on board. The organization that launched the flotilla announced that contact with the ship "Madelen" had been severed.
Arab media outlets reported that the IDF took control of the ship Madelen last night (Monday) as it made its way to Gaza. According to the report, all the pro-Palestinian activists on board were arrested.
Shortly before the takeover, the Israeli Foreign Ministry issued a harsh statement against the flotilla's participants, stating that it was a "flotilla of celebrities who came for selfies." The Foreign Ministry warned those who came that "an attempt to break the siege is dangerous and illegal."
Earlier, an alarm was sounded on board the ship and the pro-Palestinian activists on board, and they announced that they were preparing for the possibility of an attempted takeover.
