Israel deports last five Spaniards from flotilla
Spain says Israel has released the last five Spanish detainees who had tried to break a blockade on Gaza as part of activist flotillas earlier this month, sources at Spain’s foreign ministry say.
“The last five members of the flotilla held by Israel are now on their way to Spain,” a ministry source says.
Among them is an activist who was not included in a first wave of releases after allegedly biting an Israeli prison officer.
“There are no more Spaniards from the flotilla detained in Israel,” a ministry source adds.
Almost 50 other Spanish flotilla members had returned home during the past week.
