Israeli court extends detention of Gaza aid flotilla activists

Two activists from a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid flotilla, Spanish citizen Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila, appeared in Israeli court in Ashkelon on Sunday after being detained and taken to Israel by Israeli forces. The court extended their detention by two days for further interrogation. The activists were among dozens intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters off Greece on Thursday; 168 were taken to Crete while two were brought to Israel for questioning.

The split, in one line
Both outlets report the court extension and activist detention, but Al Jazeera frames it as 'abduction' and details the accusations they face, while Reuters headline omits framing context entirely, presenting only the procedural fact of the detention extension.
