Israel says it has deported six more activists who were detained when it seized an aid boat bound for the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

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.

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.
