Israeli authorities detained two Britons who were on a yacht attempting to break the blockade of Gaza.

The British-flagged catamaran Irene was seized on Tuesday around 20 miles from the territory by Israeli naval forces, with nine people and aid for the territory on board.

According to a spokeswoman for the activists, the non-Israelis on board, including Irene's British captain Glyn Secker, were transported to an immigration centre in Israel and are being deported.

The other Briton is thought to be freelance photographer Vish Vishvanath, with five Israelis, one US and one German citizen also on the boat.

They set sail earlier this week from Turkish-controlled Northern Cyprus, with a consignment of medicines, toys and water purifiers.

The incident comes four months after a deadly Israeli raid on a Turkish-led international flotilla aiming to break the blockade. Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish activists sparking a major international incident.

Israeli military officials said Irene was taken over after the captain ignored two warnings to turn back. "No violence of any kind was used," they said.

London-based activist group Jews for Justice for Palestinians organised the mission - called Jewish Boat To Gaza - and said its last contact with Mr Secker was at 10.37am British time on Tuesday.

The organisation said Mr Vishvanath and Mr Secker were in police custody at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, and were due to fly back into the UK.

The UK Foreign Office said the catamaran was escorted to Ashdod port in Israel.
