Iran Sparks Security Quake in Occupied Territories; ‘Madeleine’ Symbolizes Solidarity
The Madelin, affiliated with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, departed from Catania Port in Italy on June 1, 2025, aiming to break the blockade of Gaza-a 365-square-kilometer coastal enclave.
Activists aboard the vessel embarked on this mission despite many governments’ reluctance to take clear stances supporting Palestine or condemning Israel due to geopolitical or economic interests. Relying solely on courage, solidarity, and humanitarian principles-without military or political tools-thay sought to broadcast a moral message: “Gaza is not alone” and “The oppressed will not be forgotten.”
Days before reaching Gaza to break its comprehensive siege, Israeli forces intercepted the Madelin in international waters, abducting its 12 passengers and transporting them to Ben Gurion Airport for deportation.
webangah News Agency interviewed Nasser Abu Sharif, Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s representative in Iran, about Israel’s seizure of the Madelin, Tunisia’s land convoy “Steadfastness” heading toward Gaza, and Iran’s major intelligence blow against Israeli occupiers. Below are key excerpts:
Why did israel seize the civilian-led Madelin?
Israeli forces raided the Madelin at dawn on Monday in international waters, violently detaining all 12 activists. Released footage shows armed soldiers forcing unarmed civilians to raise their hands. This act constitutes maritime piracy and blatant violation of international law-an abduction meant to prevent any challenge to Gaza’s brutal blockade. The regime views humanitarian solidarity with Palestinians as an existential threat.
What message does Madelin send Palestine supporters worldwide?
The voyage reaffirms that Gaza isn’t isolated; global activists remain ready to defy Israeli aggression despite risks. The ship carried European and international human rights defenders-proving Palestine’s cause lives within free nations’ conscience even as some governments collude with occupiers.
Israel has intercepted 36 Freedom Flotilla vessels since 2010 (including Mavi Marmara). Why?
The regime spares no effort maintaining its 17-year siege against over two million Gazans. Hijacking aid ships reflects Israel’s strategy: crush all attempts at breaking this illegal blockade through violence if necessary (e.g., killing ten activists aboard Mavi Marmara). Occupiers weaponize starvation by blocking food/medicine under pretexts of “security.” But resistance persists despite these war crimes.
A Turning Point: Iran’s Intelligence Coup Against Israel
On saturday June [DATE], informed sources revealed Iranian intelligence obtained thousands classified documents exposing strategic secrets including nuclear facilities/data from Zionist entities.
“This marks seismic rupture within enemy security apparatus,” said Abu Sharif while congratulating Tehran:
- * Mossad suffered catastrophic failure after boasting ‘world-class capabilities.’
- * obtained files include air defense blueprints/drone tech + offensive plans making occupation vulnerable
“The silence from Tel Aviv proves shockwaves reverberate across their collapsing security architecture.”
