Moment Israel Hijacked Gaza-Bound Aid Ship Handala | Activists Shout—'Bella Ciao' | Full Video Out
In a dramatic escalation, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded the Gaza-bound civilian aid ship Handala in international waters, cutting live video feeds mid-broadcast.
The vessel, carrying unarmed activists, medics, and parliamentarians from 12 countries, was part of the Freedom Flotilla mission aimed at breaking Israel’s blockade on Gaza.
Moments before the hijacking, passengers sat peacefully on deck, raising their hands and singing the anti-fascist anthem Bella Ciao.
All communication was lost shortly after.
Human rights groups have condemned the operation as a violation of international law.
This marks the third Israeli interception of a humanitarian mission this year.
Thousands of Israelis are marching through Tel Aviv in one of the largest anti-war protests since the conflict began, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of Israeli hostages still held in the Palestinian territory. Protesters rallied near the U.S. Embassy, calling on global powers to pressure Netanyahu’s government to end what many now call a "war without a plan." With chants against war crimes and signs blaming the Israeli leadership, this mass mobilization reflects growing unrest inside Israel itself. Is this the turning point the world has been waiting for?

Yemen’s Houthi forces fired a hypersonic Palestine-2 missile at Israel’s technology hub in Be’er Sheva, targeting the nation’s commercial and tech center. Spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strike achieved its objectives, warning of further escalations if Israel continues its war on Gaza. Houthi drones also hit Eilat, Ashkelon, and Hadera, spanning Israel’s south, west, and north. With over 59,500 Palestinians killed in Gaza, Houthis have intensified multi-front attacks and blockades. Israel has responded with airstrikes on Houthi-controlled ports, fueling a rapidly expanding regional conflict.

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition.

In a powerful show of solidarity, thousands of Yemenis flooded the streets of Sa'ada yet again in their weekly pro-Palestine march. Chanting slogans against Israel and waving Palestinian flags, the protesters sent a defiant message of unwavering support to the people of Gaza, who continue to endure relentless Israeli bombardments. The march was not just symbolic—it was loud, emotionally charged, and deeply rooted in Yemen's growing resistance culture.
With children, elders, and women all participating, the demonstration highlighted the collective pain and outrage felt in Yemen over the siege of Gaza. Many carried posters of Palestinian martyrs and called for international action. As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, Yemen’s streets have become a weekly battleground of voices demanding justice. Sa'ada's march is yet another signal that the Arab street is far from silent.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition has launched a daring new mission to Gaza with its latest vessel, Handala, departing from Siracusa, Italy. This voyage comes just weeks after the Israeli Navy seized the Madleen, a British-flagged aid ship, and detained its 12 unarmed crew members in international waters.
Now, with international solidarity behind them, activists are risking it all again to break the deadly and illegal blockade of Gaza. Their message? Aid is not a crime. Silence is complicity. Onboard the Handala are international human rights defenders — including members of France’s left-wing LFI party — ready to face armed interception in hopes of reaching Gaza's besieged population.
As Israel tightens its grip, the sea becomes the last lifeline. This isn’t just a mission — it’s a message.
