Glasgow resident Hasan Nowarah was one of at least four Scots with the convoy when it was taken by commandos. Theresa McDermott, from Edinburgh, Hassan Ghani, from Glasgow, and Ali El-Awaisi, from Dundee, were also onboard.
Mr Nowarah, chairman of the Justice for Palestine Centre in Glasgow, was deported from Israel on Tuesday night after the flotilla was intercepted. He flew into London and then made his way home to Glasgow.

He said Israeli ships surrounded the convoy on Saturday night before the attack, playing “cat and mouse games” with the Mavi Marmara ship. He said: “The warships and their zodiacs were approaching us slowly, slowly, but no confrontation. They were communicating with our captains through the radios, warning us to turn back. But we explained to them we are in the international water. We are not attacking Israel, we are humanitarian aid, we are sailing to Gaza.”
Mr Nowarah then saw Israeli soldiers storm the Mavi Marmara ship before they boarded the ship he was on.
