The Madleen, a ship carrying aid to Gaza, has docked in Ashdod after being intercepted by Israeli forces. Here's what we know about its crew.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is supporting armed groups of Palestinians in Gaza in what it says is a move to counter Hamas. But officials from the U.N. and aid organizations say the military is allowing them to loot food and other supplies from their trucks.

Israel said the passengers would return to their home countries and the aid would be delivered to Gaza through established channels.
