Australian activists detained in Israel after trying to deliver aid to Gaza have been deported to Turkey following a "shameful" video of an Israeli minister taunting detainees.
The 428 Global Sumud Flotilla participants - including 11 Australians - were released overnight after being intercepted by Israeli forces at gunpoint in international waters on Tuesday.
A statement from the flotilla's Australian contingent said members were being forensically examined in hospital in Istanbul and will meet with lawyers to document their experience.
