Israel detains 430 Gaza flotilla activists
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has condemned Israel's detention of his country's nationals aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, calling the move "way out of line". Israeli forces intercepted a vessel carrying two activists linked to a civic group in Seoul. It's the second such incident this month. Mr Lee said the activists were detained in international waters without legal grounds, challenging the legitimacy of Israel's actions. South Korea currently maintains a travel ban on Gaza to ensure the safety of its nationals. A total of 430 activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla have been taken to Israel, after their vessels were intercepted at sea. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.
