Gaza flotilla organizers say 211 activists 'kidnapped' by Israel

Organizers of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla on Thursday said Israel's army had "kidnapped" 211 activists including a Paris city councilor in a raid in international waters off Greece.

Helene Coron, a spokesperson for the Global Sumud France, told an online news conference that the operation had taken place near the island of Crete, at an "unprecedented" distance from Israel.
