Watch: Surveillance footage shows crew on Gaza aid boat putting hands up as Israeli forces seize vessel
Surveillance footage released on Monday (June 9) showed crew on board a charity vessel that had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip seated with their hands up, with officials saying Israeli forces had taken command of the yacht.
In the footage, the crew on the British-flagged yacht Madleen, which is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), were told to hand over their mobile phones and “anything sensitive” by an unidentified person. The Israeli Foreign Ministry later confirmed that it was under Israeli control.
