edit: intercepted now

Since October 1, 'Israeli' forces have detained 223 international activists participating in the Gaza-bound Sumud Flotilla.

The flotilla, which aims to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, has faced repeated interceptions at sea, with authorities labeling many of the attempts as illegal under international law.

Despite more than 20 such interventions, one vessel, the Mikeno, managed to evade 'Israeli' forces and successfully reach Palestinian waters according to the Sumud Flotilla tracker. The breakthrough marks a rare success for the flotilla.
