Thousands of people took to the streets of major cities in Europe and elsewhere across the globe on Thursday after Israel intercepted the Gaza aid flotilla, which aimed to break the long-standing Israeli blockade and was carrying humanitarian relief to the Strip.
The flotilla consisted of over 40 ships and about 500 activists, marking the largest attempt of its kind. On Thursday, hundreds of Israeli police officers were deployed to the southern port of Ashdod to process activists detained by the Israeli navy.
