Following the takeover of the vessel by Shayetet 13 commandos, the flotilla\u2014dubbed the \u201cFreedom Flotilla\u201d and carrying 12 pro-Palestinian activists, including climate activist Greta Thunberg\u2014arrived this evening (Monday) at the port of Ashdod.<\/p>\n

To Be Declared Persona Non Grata<\/strong>
\nIn line with instructions from Defense Minister Israel Katz, the activists will be shown a video documenting the October 7 Hamas atrocities. Afterward, they will be sent to Ben Gurion Airport and flown back to their respective countries.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll See Who Hamas Really Is<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s only fitting that the antisemitic Greta and her Hamas-supporting friends see exactly who the terrorist organization Hamas is\u2014the one they came to support and are acting on behalf of,\u201d said Katz.<\/p>\n

Quick and Quiet Operation<\/strong>
\nAs reported, Israeli naval commandos from Shayetet 13 boarded the vessel Madleen<\/em> overnight as it attempted to reach Gaza as part of the flotilla. The 12 activists on board, including Thunberg, surrendered upon the IDF\u2019s arrival. The takeover was swift, quiet, and without casualties.<\/p>\n

A Publicity Stunt<\/strong>
\nThe flotilla\u2019s organizers claimed the mission aimed to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. However, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs clarified that the ship carried only a minimal amount of supplies\u2014less than what a single aid truck would deliver\u2014and that the effort was in fact a publicity stunt. The Navy carried out the operation professionally and decisively, and the Foreign Ministry stated that the activists would be returned to their home countries as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
