| Gaza flotilla activists claim second drone targeted another of their boats |
| 2025-09-10 |
Except there was no drone yesterday — one of the activists misfired a flare. [IsraelTimes] Organizers of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists say that another of their boats has been struck in a suspected drone attack off Tunisia’s coast.Perhaps the flare mishap gave somebody an idea. Aiming to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, the flotilla is due to resume its voyage on Wednesday after being delayed multiple times by weather conditions and other issues. “Second night, second drone attack,” Melanie Schweizer, one of its coordinators, tells AFP. The British-flagged Alma was docked in Tunisian waters on Tuesday, when it was “attacked” and “sustained fire damage on its top deck,” the Global Sumud Flotilla says in a statement, adding no one was hurt. That’s exactly what happened with the flare yesterday. AFP journalists at the scene saw a boat in the distance surrounded by Tunisian law enforcement vessels with flashing lights.The incident comes a day after the activists said another of their boats was hit by a similar suspected UAV attack, but Tunisian authorities said “no drones” had been detected. The activists say they will continue their “peaceful voyage” on Wednesday as planned, as the flotilla “presses forward with determination and resolve.” Related: Flotilla 09/09/2025 Gaza-bound flotilla carrying Greta Thunberg ‘attacked by a drone and caught fire’, crew says Flotilla 09/08/2025 They just don’t get it… as Gaza flotilla pauses in Tunisia Flotilla 09/05/2025 Boats from Tunisia joined the flotilla to Gaza in the Mediterranean today. |
