JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli navy soldiers boarded most of the vessels and detained dozens of activists aboard a flotilla attempting to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza .

The Global Sumud Flotilla said that 39 of their boats were intercepted — or assumed intercepted as communication with the activists was lost — by Thursday morning in an Israeli operation that began the night before.
