Greta Thunberg has been deported from Israel after the humanitarian aid ship she was aboard was intercepted by the Israeli military and towed to the port city of Ashdod.

The activists had set out to protest Israel’s ongoing military campaign in the Gaza Strip, which is among the deadliest and most destructive since World War II, and its restrictions on the entry of aid.

A Gaza-bound boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other international activists was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters. The group was attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians as part of a protest flotilla.
