Four of the activists are departing the country, including Greta Thunberg. However, eight have refused to leave and will be transferred to Givon detention facility.
US President Donald Trump insinuated that climate activist Greta Thunberg needed to seek anger management classes.
If Greta, or anyone else in her camp, really wanted to help the people of Gaza—or even raise meaningful awareness—they’d launch a very different kind of flotilla.
The IDF boarded the 'Madleen' early on Monday, taking the crew and the ship to the Port of Ashdod, where they would be sent back to their respective countries.

The threat came after the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation announced it had distributed over 1 million meals across the Gaza Strip Sunday.
Palestinian factions released a joint statement threatening individuals who supported US and Israeli-backed aid sites, which distributed over 1 million meals on Sunday.
The group is carrying supplies for Gazan Palestinians and protesting what they say is “Israel’s “illegal, decades-long blockade, and ongoing genocide” in the enclave.
"I strongly oppose transferring any aid to Gaza, at a time when our hostages are rotting in Hamas's tunnels, and our brave soldiers are manoeuvring in the Strip," he said.
The organization claimed "Hamas wants to return to a broken system it once controlled and exploited—diverting aid, manipulating distribution, and putting its own agenda."
