The Israeli Navy has boarded several of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s vessels and detained the activists aboard, Israel’s Foreign Ministry says.
The ministry shares a video showing an Israeli soldier handing Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg her belongings after being detained.
“Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port. Greta and her friends are safe and healthy,” the ministry says.
Once brought to Israel, the activists will be deported.
