A German man is among the dozens injured earlier this week when Israeli commandos raided a Free Gaza movement flotilla in international waters, officials announced Wednesday.
The man’s condition, and the precise extent of his injuries, were not immediately known, Foreign Ministry spokesman Andreas Peschke said, though he added that German embassy officials had brief contact with the 42-year-old from North Rhine-Westphalia, who is being treated in an Israeli hospital.
The man was wounded when the Israeli military stormed a boat in international waters and opened fire, killing at least nine people, in an incident that has provoked shock and outrage around the world.
