Israel Deports Two Palestinian Activists, But 118 Still In Custody

JERUSALEM — Israel deported two pro-Palestinian activists overnight, but another 118 were still in custody after flying into Israel as part of a pro-Palestinian protest, an Israeli official said Sunday.

"A couple of Belgians were returned overnight, and 118 pro-Palestinian activists are still being held in our prisons," immigration service spokeswoman Sabine Hadad told AFP.

"We hope it will be possible to return them to their home countries in the next 48 hours. It will depend on what spaces are available on departing flights," she added.

The activists are currently being held in Beersheva's Ela prison, in southern Israel and the Guivon prison in Ramleh, near Tel Aviv.
