In between hugs and tears with family members at Istanbul Airport, some of the 11 flotilla activists have claimed they were mistreated and abused by Israeli authorities.

Israeli forces detain 11 Australians after its navy intercepts ships seeking to break Israel's maritime blockade of Gaza, flotilla organisers say.

Officials are “urgently seeking” details about the status of 11 Australian activists after their Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted by Israeli forces.

The 11 Australians were among 426 people taking part in a 54-vessel flotilla from 39 countries aiming to challenge a naval blockade of Gaza.

There has still been no word from the 11 Australian activists intercepted while travelling on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla.

News of the activists' deportation comes hours after Israel's police minister drew global controversy for a video he posted to X.

Seven of the 11 detained flotilla activists from Australia pre-recorded videos, shared with this masthead, to be released once they were intercepted by Israel.
