Live stream of the Gaza flotilla - lots of boats have been intercepted, supposedly 1-2 boats still going (www.youtube.com)

Edit: The link was Novara, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCAN2Ay0OS4, but they seem to have gone to sleep. I switched it to the AP's livestream which seems to be just doing the raw feed with audio.

I'm not really sure what is happening. A woman on one boat said that they were the last boat, but the tracker still shows many in the unintercepted status with one quite close to Gaza. The people in YouTube chat are my only source of information and they are clearly morons. If I had to guess, I would say that there are 1-2 boats still going, most captured, the tracker hasn't updated to show all the intercepted ones, and Israel is transporting some of the boats around and that's why they show as a little bit scattered on the tracker. But who knows.

IDF, via loudspeaker: "You are entering an active war zone. If you attempt to breach the naval blockade, we will stop your vessel and act to confiscate it through legal proceedings in court. You bear full responsibility for your actions."

Thiago Avila, also via loudspeaker: "You say that we are entering an active war zone. You are saying that we are entering a place where you are committing war crimes. This is against international law. Once again, the International Court of Justice made a provisional ruling that any attempt to hinder a humanitarian mission to Gaza is prohibited by international law, and it's complying with the request to make you accountable for the crime of genocide. The International Criminal Court has your prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu under an arrest warrant for the crime of starving children and starving people to death, using starvation and famine as a weapon of war. Therefore, it's our moral duty to continue sailing."
