Irish activists held overnight in Israel will face an immigration hearing later today.

The group, including Socialist MEP Paul Murphy, was detained after trying to breach a blockade of Gaza as part of the Freedom Waves flotilla, aboard the MV Saoirse.

The Department of Foreign Affairs said that the activists could be deported in the coming days.
