Those vessels intercepted and those on board were expected to be taken initially to the Israeli port of Ashdod, where one ship was seen arriving. "All the passengers are safe and in good health. They are making their way safely to Israel, from where they will be deported to Europe," the Israeli foreign ministry said on X. "One last vessel of this provocation remains at a distance. If it approaches, its attempt to enter an active combat zone and breach the blockade will also be prevented," it added.
