An Irish activist has claimed he had a gun pointed in his face when he was detained by Israeli forces after the boat he was sailing on in an attempt to bring aid to Gaza was intercepted.

Some of the 175 activists onboard the Global Sumud Flotilla reportedly required hospital treatment after they were detained by Israeli forces on Wednesday.
