-bound flotilla who were brought to Israel for questioning, a rights group representing them told AFP on Sunday.
The activists, Spanish national Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila, were among more than 170 detained by Israel last week when the flotilla was intercepted by the Israeli Navy in international waters. The remainder were all freed on Friday in Greece, while Abu Keshek and Avila were brought to Israel on suspicion of ties to a group the US says acts on behalf of the terror group Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,..."The court extended their detention by two days," said Miriam Azem, international advocacy coordinator at the rights group Adalah, of Abu Keshek and Avila.
Israeli authorities had asked to extend their detention by four days, Azem said earlier.
In a separate statement, Adalah said the state attorney had presented a list of suspected offenses committed by the pair, including "assisting the enemy during wartime" and "membership in and providing services to a terrorist organization."
Adalah challenged the state’s jurisdiction, arguing that the activists were seized in international waters.
The group’s lawyers told the court that Avila and Abu Keshek had testified to "severe physical abuse amounting to torture, including being beaten and held in isolation and blindfolded for days at sea."
No formal charges were filed against the two, it said.
"Both activists are continuing their hunger strike in protest of their unlawful detention and ill-treatment," the group added.
Adalah said Saturday that its lawyers had met the two detained activists at Shikma Prison in Ashkelon.
Ready for the lies dear Reader? Here goes:
Avila told the lawyers he had been "subjected to extreme brutality" when the vessels were seized, and that he was "dragged face-down across the floor and beaten so severely that he passed out twice."Adalah said that since arriving in Israel, Avila said he had been "kept in isolation and blindfolded."
Abu Keshek was also "hand-tied and blindfolded... and forced to lie face-down on the floor from the moment of his seizure" until reaching Israel, the group said.
Israel said that Keshek and Avila are affiliated with the Popular Conference for Paleostinians Abroad (PCPA), which has been accused by the US Treasury of "clandestinely acting on behalf of" Hamas.
The Foreign Ministry said Abu Keshek was a leading PCPA member and that Avila was also linked to the organization and "suspected of illegal activity."
They are both members of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s steering committee, which is behind the repeated attempts to break Israel’s naval blockade of Gaza.
Spain has rejected the Israeli accusation against Abu Keshek.
The latest attempt to reach Gaza comes less than a year after Israeli authorities foiled the previous effort by the group. Participants, including Swedish climate activist Greta "Pippi" Thunberg

, detained on those flotillas were questioned in Israel before later being deported.
Israeli officials repeatedly denounced the flotillas as publicity stunts, saying they brought insignificant amounts of aid.
