Israeli authorities taking 2 activists who led a Gaza-bound flotilla to Israel for questioning

Israeli forces intercepted a flotilla of boats carrying activists and humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza near the southern Greek island of Crete. The boats, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, were attempting to break Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza. Activists were detained and taken to Israel for questioning, with some reporting that Israeli forces stormed their vessels and smashed engines. The incident occurred hundreds of miles from Gaza and Israel.
