SHOTLIST: LONDON, UK (OCT. 2, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF CROWD OF PROTESTERS HOLDING BANNERS, SIGNS AND FLAGS, AND CHANTING PRO-PALESTINIAN SLOGANSLONDON, UK - OCT. 2: A pro-Palestine demonstration was held in London, the capital of the United Kingdom on Thursday, Oct 2, to protest the Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla, the aid voyage of rights activists toward the Gaza Strip. Israeli naval forces attacked 21 vessels of the flotilla late Wednesday and detained at least 317 activists, according to the official flotilla tracker. Nineteen other boats were reported under attack, while four were still sailing toward Gaza. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the detained passengers were being taken to the Ashdod Port and would be deported to Europe. It described the flotilla as the “Hamas Flotilla” on the US social media platform, X. The flotilla, carrying humanitarian aid and medical supplies, departed in late August in an attempt to break Israel’s 18-year blockade of Gaza. It marked the first time in years that dozens of ships had approached the enclave that closely. Israel tightened its siege in March by shutting border crossings and blocking food, medicine and other relief supplies, pushing Gaza into famine despite aid trucks massing at its borders. The Israeli military has killed more than 66,100 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023. The relentless bombardment has rendered the enclave all but uninhabitable and led to starvation and the spread of disease.
