Moment Israeli forces board Gaza aid boat

World news

Security camera footage shows the moment Israeli forces boarded a yacht that was carrying activists towards Gaza, to deliver humanitarian aid.

The 12 activists, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg, were detained and their boat, the Madleen, was towed to the Israeli port city of Ashdod.

The Madleen’s journey was organised by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a campaign group that has been trying to breach a blockade on Gaza that was imposed by Israel in 2007 when Hamas took control of the territory.

The activists who set sail on 1 June, said the goal of the mission, which carried a small amount of supplies including rice and baby formula, was to raise awareness of the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza caused by Israel’s restrictions on the delivery of aid.

Israel dismissed it as a “selfie yacht”, saying it would deport the activists to their home countries.

    A gunman who killed at least six people in the streets of Kyiv on Saturday before taking hostages and barricading himself in a nearby supermarket has been shot dead by police, Ukrainian officials said.

    The head of Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, Ihor Klymenko, said in a statement on social media that special tactical police units stormed the store after attempts to contact the gunman with a negotiator failed.

    The attacker was killed while resisting arrest, he said.

    Speaking to reporters at the scene, Klymenko said that the government had killed four bystanders while on the street, before entering the supermarket and killing a fifth person.

    Mayor Vitali Klitschko said that a sixth victim, a young woman, had died from her injuries in the hospital.
