Overview

  • The six Mexicans were identified as Sol González Eguía, Arlín Gabriela Medrano, Carlos Pérez Osorio, Diego Vázquez Galindo, Ernesto Ledezma Arronte and Laura Alejandra Vélez Ruiz Gaitán.
  • Mexico says it has delivered multiple diplomatic notes seeking physical guarantees, reasons for the interception, consular access and immediate repatriation, with embassy staff present at Ashdod.
