Sergio Toribio, a Spanish activist and member of the flotilla, shared his experience with the media. The incident took place in international waters, according to Toribio. The Israeli military boarded the ship, taking control and detaining the crew. Toribio described the detention: "They kept us on the boat, under control. A doctor checked us, and they gave us water and food." He further explained that the crew was kept on deck for much of the day for better control. Later, they were moved to cabins. The Israeli military seized the ship, and the crew was eventually released. Toribio's account provides a firsthand perspective on the challenges faced by those delivering aid to Gaza and the tactics used by the Israeli military to prevent such missions.
