TUNIS, Tunisia — An international activist group known as the Global Sumud Flotilla claims that its vessel, the 'Family Boat', was hit by what they believe to be a drone while docked in Tunisia. This incident occurred just days before their scheduled departure to deliver aid to Gaza. However, Tunisian authorities have denied the presence of a drone, stating they are investigating a fire caused by a life jacket on board the boat. Footage shared by the group depicts a flash of light impacting the vessel and igniting a fire. Despite this unsettling event, the Global Sumud Flotilla remains committed to its mission and is set to hold a news conference in Tunis to discuss the occurrences and affirm their plans. The flotilla is part of a broader initiative aimed at providing humanitarian aid to those in Gaza.
