Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining those onboard, with the vessel being taken to Israel.

The 22-year-old activist took to social media to state she was 'kidnapped' after the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) said the Madleen vessel was intercepted early today

Israeli naval forces boarded and seized a charity vessel that had tried to break a naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and the boat with its crew of 12, including activist Greta Thunberg, is now heading to a port in Israel.
