Gaza flotilla activist blasts Israel over treatment
Activists have accused Israeli forces of using excessive force during the interception of the Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters.
Julien Cabral has just completed his first voyage with the “Flotilla for Gaza.” One of his eyes is ringed with purple, he has a wound on his left temple and an injured shoulder blade.
About 10 members of the Israeli forces intercepted them in international waters more than 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the Israeli coast on May 18, he said as he arrived at Istanbul airport on May 21.
Türkiye evacuated 422 people on special flights, including 85 of its own citizens, deployed doctors and ambulances.
