Boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla intercepted by Israeli forces in the Mediterranean sea off the Gaza Strip waters, arrive in the southern port of Ashdod on October 2, 2025. Israel said on October 2 it will deport pro-Palestinian activists aboard the intercepted Sumud Flotilla of around 45 vessels, which began its voyage a month earlier, with politicians and activists aiming to break the siege and deliver aid to Gaza, where a famine was declared by the United Nations.
