TUNIS, Tunisia — A boat from the Global Sumud Flotilla, an international group aiming to deliver aid to Gaza, has reportedly been hit by a drone while docked in Tunisia. The boat, called the “Family Boat,” was left unharmed, but a fire erupted after the incident. However, Tunisian authorities have dismissed claims of a drone attack and are currently investigating a fire related to a life jacket on the vessel. Activists shared social media footage showing a bright flash on one of their boats. Despite the setback, the flotilla is determined to proceed with its planned mission and will hold a press conference later to discuss the occurrence.
