The Freedom Flotilla activist ship crew have been 'detained and questioned by Israeli authorities' after the vessel arrived in Ashdod port.
It comes after the pro-Palestinian campaign group's boat heading towards Gaza was intercepted by Israeli forces on Saturday.
A livestream broadcast by the organisation showed the soldiers taking control of the 'Handala' vessel.
Meanwhile, the 21 activists onboard could be seen sitting on the ship's deck, holding their hands up and whistling the Italian anti-fascist song 'Bella Ciao'.
The Handala had been on course to try to break an Israeli naval blockade of Gaza and bring a small quantity of humanitarian aid to the territory's Palestinian residents.
