Flotilla for Gaza says the boat beaten by drone in the Tunisian waters denies the National Guard claim - video

The global Sumud flotilla for Gaza said on Tuesday that one of its most important boats was hit by a drone in the Tunisian waters. It is said that all six passengers and crew are safe. According to the Hindustan Times, the flotilla activists and civilians from 44 countries, including climate activist Greta Thunberg, transported as part of an attempt to break the Israeli siege of the Gaza Strip. The Portuguese flag boat, which transported the flotilla management committee, sustained fire damage to its head deck and the storage under the deck, the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement. While ‘Global Sumud Flotilla’ footage of Family Boat’s CCTV ‘confirms the drone strike’, the spokesman for the national guard of Tunisia denied the claim. The spokesman told Mosaique FM Radio that reports on a drone attack on the flotilla ‘have no basis’, adding that an initial inspection indicated that the explosion arose in the vessel. The Flotilla is an international initiative trying to provide humanitarian aid to the war -torn Gaza via citizen boats supported by delegations from 44 countries. After the strike, dozens of people outside the Sidi building of Tunisia gathered, Port, where the boats of the flotilla were trapped, swung with Palestinian flags and sang “free Palestine”, a Reuters witness said. Israel has imposed a naval blockade on the coastal cavity since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, saying it is aimed at stopping weapons from reaching the militant group. The blockade remained in place through conflicts, including the present war, which began when Hamas attacked South Israel in October 2023 and killed 1,200 and took about 250 hostages, showed Israeli talies. Israel’s subsequent military assault against Hamas has killed more than 64,000 Palestinians, Gaza Ministry said, while a global hunger monitor said part of the enclave is suffering. In early March, Israel sealed Gaza through the country and had no supplies coming in for three months, arguing that Hamas had distracted help. The GSF also said that an investigation into the drone attack was underway and that the results will be released once once. “Acts of aggression aimed at intimidating and derailing our mission will not deter us. Our peaceful mission of breaking the siege on Gaza and standing in solidarity with its people continues with determination and determination,” the GSF said. (With input of Reuters)
