Turkish Airlines aircraft landed Thursday at Ramon Airport to transport activists detained after Israeli forces intercepted the Hamas-linked “Global Sumud Flotilla” attempting to breach the naval blockade on Gaza.

Footage from the airport showed detainees, dressed in gray prison uniforms, being escorted onto the planes under heavy security. Reports from the scene said several activists refused to cooperate and clashed with personnel during the transfer process.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry said the operation marked “the end of another media flotilla,” adding that the mission was “a public relations provocation serving Hamas propaganda interests.”

Israeli officials reiterated that the naval blockade on Gaza remains in effect under international law and said security forces will continue preventing unauthorized attempts to reach the Strip by sea.
