As Israel began its unprovoked attack on Iran on June 13, the last three of the twelve volunteers of the Gaza Flotilla ship Madleen were still in Israeli prisons.

Marc van Rennes, Dutch citizen, was in the detention cell at Ben Gurion airport when Israeli authorities closed the airport expecting Iranian retaliation to target the airport.  He was then taken back to Israeli prison from the airport.

There he joined French citizens Pascal Mauerieras and Yanis Mhamdi who were awaiting deportation the following day.

Instead, the three ended up in Israeli prison for 4 more days, until an international pressure campaign finally brought their release from prison.
