The pro-Gaza women’ boat Zaytouna-Oliva at dawn Thursday docked at the Port of Ashdod after it was hijacked and towed the day before by the Israeli occupation navy.
According to the Israeli media, all the female activists aboard the vessel have been detained and will be interrogated today by the police before deporting them via Ben-Gurion Airport.
The Israeli security authorities also intend to blacklist the activists and ban their entry permanently to Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories.
“At the behest of the political leadership and after calls to the Zaytouna boat by the navy to stop, which were rejected, naval forces took control of the boat before it arrived at the Gaza Strip,” according to a statement by the Israeli army. “The process of taking control was short and resulted in no injuries.
The response was implemented after many calls to the sailors aboard the flotilla at various distances in the sea. After the sailors indicated that they had no intention to cooperate and to accept the offer to sail to Ashdod, the decision was taken to take control and to prevent it from breaching the legal naval blockade and to divert it to the Ashdod port,” the Israeli statement continued.
The Dutch-flagged boat was sponsored by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a group of pro-Palestinian groups based mostly in Europe. The boat was carrying 13 female activists from different countries headed by Mairead Maguire, an Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
A retired US army commander and a former South African Olympic athlete were also on board, along with noted women from Britain, Sweden, Russia and Malaysia.
The boat was not carrying any aid and its goal was purely "symbolic, aimed at calling the world’s attention to the Israeli illegal naval blockade of Gaza, according to the Women’s Boat to Gaza campaign.

For the first time since 2008, occupation authorities have issued 1,436 administrative detention orders in 2016 so far, including 546 new orders issued without charge or trial under the so-called “secret file” pretext.
Many administrative detention orders were issued against young people and students who are not affiliated with the Palestinian political factions.
Since last October, the Israeli occupation authorities have pursued systematic and deliberate policies of mistreatment against Palestinian prisoners at all stages, from the pre-detention to the post-detention phases.
Notorious among these violations are the use of excessive force and the extrajudicial killing of Palestinians by Israeli soldiers.
The human rights organizations also monitored violations and torture against Palestinian detainees, including aggressive beating, intensive interrogation, break-ins into prison cells, and preplanned medical neglect.
A series of draft laws was also enacted against Palestinians, including the extension of prison sentences against “stone throwers,” and administrative detainees in an attempt to quell anti-occupation activism.
In addition, new charges were issued to arrest or deport hundreds of Palestinians on account of their statements on social media networks.
151 of those arrests took place in Occupied Jerusalem, 81 in Al-Khalil, 40 in Bethlehem, 40 in Nablus, 35 in Jenin, 32 in Ramallah and El-Bireh, 23 in Tulkarem, eight in Qalqilya, six in Tubas, six in Salfit, five from Jericho and nine from the Gaza Strip.
There are approximately 7,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, including 59 women, 12 of them minor girls.
There is a total of approximately 350 children in Megiddo and Ofer prisons. According to the report, there are 700 Palestinians held in administrative detention without charge or trial.
122 administrative detention orders were issued in September, including 44 new orders. The Battle of Empty Stomachs in September Palestinian prisoners Mohammed and Mahmoud al-Balboul, along with Malik al-Qadi, carried out hunger strikes for over 70 days against the administrative detention orders.
They ended their strikes on 22 September after reaching an agreement for their release without renewal of their administrative detention. Al-Qadi received pledges to be transferred to a Palestinian hospital while the Balboul brothers received promises to be released on 8 December 2016.
Palestinian prisoners Ahmad Abu Fara and Anas Shadid launched their hunger strike in September against administrative detention while Jawad Jawarish and Maher Abayat announced their strike against arbitrary transfer and isolation.
The popular uprising which began on 1 October 2015 has had a clear impact on the issue of prisoners. The number of daily arrests has increased over the past year and has culminated in the abduction of civilians from different ages and social groups.
At least 7,955 Palestinians were arrested, including 1963 children, 229 women and girls, 41 journalists and five members of the Palestinian Legislative Council.
The highest number of recorded arrests was in Occupied Jerusalem, with 2,355 Palestinians detained since last October, including 842 children and 128 women (among whom 24 minor girls.)
There has also been a surge in the number of administrative detention orders throughout the year. For the first time since 2008, occupation authorities have issued 1,436 administrative detention orders in 2016 so far, including 546 new orders issued without charge or trial under the so-called “secret file” pretext.
