France opens ‘war crimes’ probe into Israel’s treatment of Gaza activists

France starts a big look into something bad. French people were on a boat to Gaza. This boat brings help. Israeli soldiers stopped the boat. The French people say the soldiers hurt them. They say it was like torture. France wants to know what happened.

Many people from different countries were on the boat. They tried to break a rule blocking Gaza. This rule makes life hard for people in Gaza. Israeli soldiers took the people from the boat. They kept them. The French people say they had a very bad time. One woman says a soldier touched her badly. Another says people had to stay on their knees for many hours. They heard Israeli music again and again.

A group that helps people says this is one of the worst things in ten years. They say Israel must stop hurting people. Israel says the French people are not telling the truth. They say it is all false. Two French people are still in the hospital. This is a very serious probe, and many people are talking about the activists.
