Hundreds of people gathered in front of the embassy of the Zionist regime in Rome, Italy, Wednesday evening to protest Israel's inhuman act to block humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israel had said that it would deport 15 activists whose boat was intercepted by Israeli naval commandoes as it was trying to break Gaza Strip's blockade.

The spokeswoman for the Zionist regime's immigration service said that all the 15 passengers with various nationalities will be sent back to their countries.

Sabine Hadad told AFP "The 15 passengers were interviewed on Tuesday evening by our services and have voluntarily agreed to sign a document saying that they are ready to leave in 72 hours".

The activists were taken into Israeli custody on Tuesday as their small French boat was heading for the impoverished coastal sliver from Greece.

Israeli commandoes boarded the boat and sailed it along with its passengers to the southern port of Ashdod.
