Sumud Flotilla Attacked By A Drone Strike

Activists on the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza say their main vessel was hit by a drone attack in Tunisia. Here’s what we know so far.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) says a drone has struck its main ship, the Family Boat, in Tunisia waters, causing a fire. It says all passengers and crew are safe.
It has released a video, verified by Al Jazeera, that shows an incendiary device falling from the sky and striking the ship, causing an explosion. But the Tunisian National Guard says no drone was detected near the ship.
The Family Boat is among dozens preparing to travel to Gaza, to break the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave, where a famine has been declared.
A number of prominent politicians and activists are participating in the flotilla, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and the former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau. Four Italian parliamentarians are also set to join.
