ASHKELON, Israel, May 3, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - An Israeli court on Sunday approved a two-day extension to the detention of two foreign activists from a Gaza-bound flotilla who were brought to Israel for questioning, a rights group representing them told AFP.

"The court extended their detention by two days," said Miriam Azem, international advocacy coordinator at the rights group Adalah.

Israeli authorities had asked to extend their detention by four days, Azem said.
