Israeli Forces Surround Activist Ship off Gaza Coast

Israeli forces surround the Madleen ship off the coast of Gaza, where activists refuse to surrender. According to Al Jazeera English and The Jerusalem Post, the Israeli military is surrounding the vessel. The situation is tense, and the activists' refusal to surrender raises concerns about their safety. 'This sounds like a preset, like they're setting up the scenery so they have an excuse,' said one observer in a social media video. The Jerusalem Post reported that the Israeli military expects the vessel to reach Israeli territory around 2:00 a.m. local time. The international community is closely monitoring the situation.
