Flotilla Under Fire: Activists Face Repeated Attacks

The Global Sumud Flotilla, aiming to breach the Israeli blockade of Gaza, experienced two consecutive drone attacks in Tunisian waters. Despite the assaults on British and Portuguese vessels, causing fires onboard, no injuries were reported. The flotilla's mission started from Barcelona carrying humanitarian aid.

An international activist flotilla, attempting to challenge the Israeli blockade of Gaza, reported coming under attack for the second consecutive night, on Wednesday.

The Global Sumud Flotilla announced that its British-flagged vessel, 'Alma,' was targeted by a drone while docked in Tunisian waters. Despite projectiles igniting a fire on deck, no injuries were noted, as shown in the released surveillance footage.

Similar circumstances surrounded the previous night's attack on a Portuguese-flagged boat, 'Family.' With Tunisian authorities refuting drone involvement initially, the investigation is still ongoing. The flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona with humanitarian aid, remains committed to its mission despite these setbacks.
