A group of militants in Gaza is trying to set a course Tuesday, July 9 to "break the siege" of Gaza, they said Monday. The activists decided that their navigation would take place after months of the "Great March of Return" that failed and caused many injuries as Hamas sought to break through the security fence around Gaza.

The National Organizing Committee of the Great Return March affirmed that a group of small boats with patients and wounded would seek to leave Gaza en route to Cyprus. According to The New Arab, Salah Abdul Atti, an organizer, called on the UN to protect the group of boats. A similar attempt was made at the end of May and intercepted by the navy.

Bbadam Manasra, a spokesman for the National Committee to break the siege, told Anadolu, a Turkish media, that "the flotilla will leave at 11 am At the same time, an" Freedom Flotilla Coalition "is trying to to sail another ship called Al-Awda in Gaza which has traveled thousands of kilometers from Scandinavian ports and was near Corsica July 8.

In May 2010, a large Gaza flotilla of six ships was intercepted and nine militants killed in clashes.In 2011, a new flotilla stalled after one of the ships mysteriously suffered from mechanical problems in Greece.Since then, the phenomenon of the fleets has been interrupted.

Israel maintains a security cordon around Gaza in which Palestinian fishermen are allowed to fish within 9 nautical miles of the coast.Outside the area, ships are intercepted by the Navy.It is rare that the Palestinians have sought to break through this area, which they see as a blockade, and to leave Gaza.
