American activists, including David Adler, part of a Gaza aid flotilla were detained by Israeli naval forces. After interception in international waters, over 450 volunteers were taken into custody. Adler and other U.S. citizens have since been released and deported to Jordan, with flights home being arranged. Families criticized the U.S. government's response, while the State Department maintains it provided consular services and views the flotilla as a provocation.
