# Activists released from Israeli custody after being detained on a flotilla trying to bring aid to Gaza were subjected to abuse, with several hospitalised with injuries and at least 15 reporting sexual assaults, including rape. Israeli forces arrested 430 people on board 50 ships in international waters on Tuesday to halt a flotilla of volunteers trying to bring aid supplies to the Gaza Strip. Western governments on Thursday expressed anger after Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted a video of himself mocking activists being pinned to the ground in a prison.
