Israel preparing to intercept Gaza-bound aid flotilla, local media says Israeli media reported that Israel is preparing to intercept a Gaza-bound aid flotilla as dozens of vessels approach the Gaza Strip in an attempt to challenge the Israeli blockade. Activists aboard the 54-ship Global Sumud Flotilla earlier reported spotting a military vessel near the convoy, which is expected to reach Gaza’s waters within two days. According to Israel Hayom, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held security consultations on Sunday ahead of the flotilla’s arrival.
