Israeli troops boarded the Handala, a boat operated by the pro-Palestinian activist group Freedom Flotilla and sailing to Gaza, on Saturday, according to a livestream broadcast by the group.
The broadcast showed the activists sat on deck, holding their hands up and whistling the Italian anti-fascist song "Bella Ciao", as the soldiers took control of the vessel.
Three video livefeeds of the scene, which had been broadcast online, were cut minutes later.
