The Israeli military began intercepting several boats that are part of a flotilla attempted to break the blockade of Gaza.
More than 50 vessels departed from a port in Turkey last week in what the organizers of the global Sumud flotilla described as the final leg of their journey to Gaza shores.
The organization's live stream showed activists putting on life jackets and raising their hands before a boat carrying troops approached off the coast of Cyprus.
An hour prior to the interception, Israel's foreign ministry called activists to change course and turn back immediately.
