A human rights campaigner said the 14 activists were recuperating in Turkey, adding that they are “pretty shaken”.

The lawyer for the activists has said the treatment of those detained had been “severe” and that three had been hospitalised before being released.

On Thursday, the UK confirmed it had summoned Israel's top diplomat in Britain to express its "condemnation" of the incident.

A video showing a far-right Israeli minister taunting activists who were kneeling with their hands tied behind their backs has been widely condemned.
