Activists deported after taunting by Israeli minister

Gaza flotilla activists who were detained by Israel and later pinned to the ground to the taunts ‌of Israel's far-right police minister have been released from prison and will be deported to Turkey.

The activists, including 11 Australians, were arrested at a port in southern Israel after the Israeli navy ‌intercepted their protest flotilla in international waters.
