Madeleine sailed from Sicily last Sunday heading to Gaza, to deliver aid and break the Israeli siege imposed on the Strip for many years.
The Freedom Flotilla coalition, the flight organizer, said to “Telegram” that “the contact was cut with the ship Madeleine. The Israeli army rose on board the ship,” adding that the Israeli forces “kidnapped” the ship’s crew, as they put it.
Freedom Fleet activists published a series of pre -registered videos for the people on board, including one for the overburgh, saying: “If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters.”
