Greta Thunberg has been hauled off her 'Freedom Flotilla' by Israel naval forces as it neared the besieged Gaza Strip.

As the Global Sumud Flotilla approached Palestinian territory with humanitarian aid this evening, at least six vessels were intercepted and boarded by the Israeli navy, according to those onboard.

In footage posted to X by Israel Foreign Ministry, Swedish climate activist Thunberg is seen among those being detained by officials.

While sat on the floor, Thunberg takes what appears to be a bottle of water and puts on a green frog bucket hat and a white coat as she retrieves her belongings.

'Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port,' the post said.
