Family anguish as Israelis hold Scot over Eid

THE family of a Scots journalist being held in Israel have spoken of their anguish after celebrating the most important Muslim festival of the year without him.

Hassan Ghani, 26, from Glasgow, was detained by the Israeli navy on Thursday when a protest boat bound for Gaza was seized.

The TV journalist was aboard one of two vessels trying to break Israel’s blockade of the Palestinian territory. They were towed to Ashdod.
