Passengers (Mairead Maguire in the picture) from the seventh flotilla ship arrive at the Ashdod Port accompanied by IDF Naval Special Forces. The ship had been boarded by the IDF and with full compliance of the crew, instructed the ship’s captain to sail to the Ashdod Port after it had attempted to break the maritime closure of the Gaza Strip.

Nineteen people were on board the boat, including eight crew members, all of whom were transferred to the custody of the appropriate authorities of the Interior Ministry.
