# The Gaza-bound Madleen of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition docked in the Israeli port of Ashdod on Monday evening after being intercepted by Israel. The boat was carrying humanitarian aid and human rights defenders, including climate activist Greta Thunberg. The Israel Foreign Ministry says the passengers underwent medical examinations and were sent to the Ben Gurion Airport to return to their home countries. It adds that those who refuse to sign deportation documents and leave Israel will be brought before a judicial authority.
