The Israeli navy on Wednesday reportedly intercepted an all-women flotilla heading to Gaza in an attempt to break the decade long-siege on the strip.

Vyara Gylsen, a spokesman for the flotilla, told Middle East Eye that she had lost contact with the Zaytouna at 4pm CEST.

In a statement the group said: "At 1558 (CEST) on 5 October, we lost contact again with the Zaytouna-Oliva and presume that the Israeli Occupation Navy has now begun to attack it and that it has been surrounded in International Waters."

On board the flotilla are 13 women, including Mairead Maguire, the nobel pece laureate from Northern Ireland, Fauziah Hasan, a doctor from Malaysia, and retired US army colonel Ann Wright.
