Disruption in navigation system of Madleen ship

According to Israel’s Channel 12 news, the Madleen, currently known as part of the Freedom Flotilla and Gaza Blockade Breaker, has experienced a disruption in its navigation systems.

Tiago Avila, the manager of the Freedom Flotilla and a Brazilian journalist, announced on Sunday that the ship’s navigation devices have malfunctioned. He stated, “They [the Israelis] are preparing to stop or attack us.”

The journalist and social activist noted: “We are 162 nautical miles [approximately 260 kilometers] from the Gaza coast, but our navigation systems indicate our location as an airport in Jordan.”

Avila continued: “We know what it means when they start disrupting our communication devices and systems. They are preparing to stop us, and perhaps they even plan to attack us.”

Blaming the Israeli regime for the disruption in the Madleen’s systems, Avila said: “We’ve all heard the Israeli media reports about special forces. They are preparing to commit a war crime. We must stop this. If enough pressure is put on countries and governments, we can pressure the Israeli regime to prevent them from attacking or stopping us. There is still time to save these humanitarian supplies, the ship, this mission, and us.”
