Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among at least six Irish citizens aboard an aid flotilla who have been detained by Israel, organisers say.

The Global Sumud Flotilla said that 10 boats in a 60-vessel flotilla were intercepted in international waters and boarded by Israeli forces shortly after 9am on Monday.
