Second Aid of Gaza Flotilla attacked by drones in Tunisia, says the activist group

An activist group that sent a flotilla of help boats to try to get to Gaza, the Sumud Global flotilla, said that a second of her ships was attacked by a drone while she was docked in Tunisia a day after reporting a similar strike.

“The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that on September 9, another Boat in our fleet – The ‘Alma’ – was attacked by a drone when he was docked in Tunisian waters, “said the group in a statement on Wednesday.” The boat, sailing under the British flag, suffered fire damage on its upper deck. Since then, the fire has become extinguished, and all passengers and the crew are safe. An investigation is currently underway and when there is more information available, it will be published immediately. “

The group shared a video clip that said it showed the time of the second attack. The video seemed to show a fireball hitting the boat cover from above.

A day before, GSF shared a security camera video that seemed to show the first drone attack in another of its vessels.

“This marks the second attack of this type in two days. These repeated attacks come during the intensified Israeli aggression over the Palestinians in Gaza, and they are an attempt orchestrated to distract and derail our mission. The Global Sumud flotilla continues without stopping. Our Pacific trip to Israel de Israel and the illegal group on the gaza and the solid of the determination and resolution of the determination.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who participated in a separate gaza flotilla that was arrested by Israeli forces Earlier this year, it is among those traveling with the GSF flotilla.

After the first alleged attack, the Tunisian officials initially dismissed the accusations. GSF later said that Tunisia was investigating.

The Interior Ministry of Tunisia has not responded to News themezone requests to comment on the alleged drone attacks or any investigation that is carrying out.

Israel maintains a blockade of Gaza, including its maritime border in the Mediterranean, so the flotilla would not have permission to dock there.

Israeli forces have Boats addressed and seized participate in activist flotillas to prevent them from breaking their block, even in a Raid in a boat In 2010, that left at least nine dead activists.

Israel has ruled out the flotillas as advertising acrobatics, and says that its maritime blockade is necessary to prevent weapons and other materials from being introduced into the Palestinian territory devastated by war, which for a long time has been governed by the terrorist group designated by the United States and Israel Hamas.

The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not responded to the requests for News themezone comments on the matter.
