The 'freedom flotilla' activists have arrived at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport to be deported, Israel has confirmed.
Taking to X at around 1:20am, the Israel Foreign Ministry said: 'Some of the "Selfie Yacht" passengers are expected to leave within the next few hours.
'Those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority, in accordance with Israeli law, to authorize their deportation. Consuls from the passengers' home countries met them at the airport.'
It comes after it was revealed that Greta Thunberg was being held in an Israeli prison for migrants after troops intercepted the vessel, according to the activist's lawyer.
Thunberg, alongside the 11 other activists on board, was expected to appear in court later on this morning after they were taken to the Israeli port city of Ashdod.
