Israel said Swedish activist Greta Thunberg left on a flight to France after military seized the Gaza-bound ship she was on.
Israel's Foreign Ministry has said Swedish activist Greta Thunberg boarded a flight to France on her way back to her home country.
It comes after the Gaza-bound ship she was on, the Madleen, was seized by the Israeli military on Monday.
The Foreign Ministry posted images on the platform X showing Thunberg boarding a flight in a post.
Meanwhile, an independent UN commission has accused Israel of the crime of "extermination."
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, the group that organized the journey, said the Madleen was seized early on Monday around 200 kilometers (125 miles) off of the coast of Gaza.
The group issued a statement saying that Israel did not have any "legal authority" to detain the activists on the ship, arguing that they "cannot be criminalized for delivering aid or challenging an illegal blockade."
Israel has sought to portray the campaign as a social media stunt, with the Foreign Ministry describing it as a "selfie yacht" carrying "celebrities."
