The Israeli military has stopped a large aid flotilla - with dozens of boats and more than 400 activists. It had been heading toward the shores of the Gaza Strip. Live-streamed videos showed Israeli forces boarding boats and detaining passengers and crew. The government there says it will now deport them. The Sumud Flotilla left from Barcelona, Spain, over a month ago with a goal of breaking Israel's naval blockade and delivering food and medicine to Palestinians in Gaza. From Barcelona, The World's Gerry Hadden reports.
