Australians who took part in a flotilla attempting to deliver aid to Gaza are landing back home after being released from detention in Israel.
Eleven Australians were among 400 people detained by Israel last week in international waters west of Cyprus.
Video live-streamed to the Global Sumud Festival's website showed black-clad soldiers boarding the vessels while angles later taken by other flotilla participants revealed abandoned vessels bobbing in the sea as Palestinian flags flew in the wind.
Seven Australians are due to arrive in Sydney on Monday morning, while others will land in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Surya McEwen, a dual diagnosis care worker from Mullumbimby, is among those returning to Australia after his third attempt to deliver aid via a flotilla.
