“[W]e saw three Israeli warships in the horizon… Soon after, the Israeli presence in the waters around us intensified. We counted at least 15 ships, four of which were warships...Israeli soldiers pointed their machines guns at us. This is when our communications system was jammed and we lost contact with the world...[T]hey aimed their canons at us, showering us with salty water...Israeli ships hit our boat and soldiers started boarding. Dozens of masked soldiers screamed 'on your knees' and 'hands up'.”
- Egyptian journalist Lina Attalah, an activist aboard the Tahrir
