Israeli forces reportedly attacked a flotilla off the coast of Crete for over an hour, with several explosions occurring near the boats. The new reports emerged within the last hour of the reporting window, detailing ongoing incidents that began around 11:36 PM UTC on September 23rd, 2025. This development follows earlier reports from the previous day concerning a flotilla incident off Crete, where communications were jammed and explosive devices were allegedly deployed. A social media post from user @davidrkadler between 10:37 PM and 11:06 PM UTC on September 23rd, 2025, indicated a state of alert and communications jamming. Another report from user Heidi Bachram also mentioned communications jamming of the Gaza flotilla. The new information indicates a continuation or escalation of these events. These incidents occur in the context of broader regional tensions and diplomatic activities related to the Gaza conflict. Earlier on September 23rd, US President Donald Trump described his meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders in Jerusalem as "great." That summit, which concluded around 9:07 PM UTC, focused on the Gaza conflict. International discussions have also included French President Emmanuel Macron challenging President Trump on the war and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's announcement of a potential motion to recognize a Palestinian state.
