Six Australian activists detained by Israeli forces while participating in the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza were released in Crete after their vessel was intercepted in international waters off Greece on Wednesday; three reported injuries and alleged mistreatment, while two flotilla leaders remain in Israeli custody facing questioning. Israel defended the interception as a lawful measure to prevent breach of its blockade on Gaza, while flotilla organizers characterized it as unlawful seizure in international waters.
