A detained Gaza flotilla participant attacked prison medical staff during examination, the ministry has said
Israel has accused a Gaza flotilla activist of biting a member of prison staff, claiming it was “the only violent incident” involving those detained. The statement came in response to allegations of mistreatment during the activists’ detention.
Global Sumud flotilla members, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, were attempting to breach the blockade of Gaza by sea, where the United Nations says famine has taken hold after two years of devastating conflict.
The flotilla was stopped by the Israeli Navy on Friday. According to fellow activists, those detained were “tortured” and subjected to “harsh treatment” in an Israeli prison. Israeli officials later rejected the accusations.

“The only violent incident came from a Hamas–Sumud provocateur who bit a female medical staff member at Ketsiyot Prison,” it added.
The Gaza flotilla activists have not yet responded to the biting allegations.
Thunberg was among more than 170 activists deported to Greece and Slovakia on Monday. The group included citizens from 19 countries, including the US, UK, Germany, and France.
