Ten activists and journalists that the Israeli navy detained on a cargo ship carrying humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip have returned to Lebanon.
The nine Lebanese and a Palestinian resident of Lebanon were brought early Friday with the help of the UN peacekeeping force across the Lebanese-Israeli border at the coastal town of Naqoura.
They are among 18 activists that Israel expelled after holding them for hours. Israeli navy enforcing a blockade of the Palestinian territory had seized the ship.
Lebanese TV station Al-Jadeed, which had its crew aboard the ship, says that one of the passengers, 86-year-old former Greek Catholic archbishop of Jerusalem Hillarion Capucci, was taken to the Golan Heights where he crossed into Syria.
