The Navy's takeover of the Turkish flotilla

Israel's security forces are currently working to complete the takeover of a Turkish flotilla of vessels on the high seas. According to a report by Hot News (which holds a firm security position and is critical of hostile elements), a security official updated the Minister of Defense that forces from Flotilla 3 and Flotilla 13 have taken control of "95% of the Turkish vessels on the high seas" and the center of gravity of the flotilla.

Simultaneously, 🇮🇱News Channel 8200🇮🇱 and Dr. Amir Bohbot report that under the command of Major General Eyal Harel, the Navy has so far taken control of more than 40 vessels. According to the data, over 300 protesters out of about 500 who were on board have been arrested.

A security source quoted on News Channel 8200 noted that the protesters' remaining vessels are still on the high seas, and the political echelon has not yet made a final decision regarding the fate of the arrested protesters – "to bring them to Israel or transfer them to a country in the region." The operation is continuing at this hour under the guidance of Minister of Defense Israel Katz.
