Greta Thunberg was on a flight to France en route home to Sweden after being deported from Israel a day after the Gaza-bound aid yacht she was on board was intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters.

Has Greta Thunberg been released after she was taken into custody in Israel when she and fellow activists were trying to deliver aid to Gaza?

Israel says it intercepted the 'selfie yacht' peacefully, offering snacks and water; activists claimed abduction while tossing phones into the sea.

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg has left Israel after being detained aboard the Madleen, a Gaza-bound aid ship intercepted by the Israeli navy in international waters, the Israeli foreign ministry said.

En route to Gaza with humanitarian aid, the vessel 'Madleen,' carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg, rescued migrants near Crete. Part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the 'Madleen' responded to a distress signal and saved Sudanese individuals who had jumped into the sea to avoid being returned to Libya.
