A Freedom Flotilla vessel attempting to break the siege on Gaza was attacked by Israeli drones shortly after midnight while carrying humanitarian aid and 30 international human rights activists.
Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila explained that they had spent over 18 months attempting to reach Gaza, repeatedly delayed by Israeli pressure on complicit governments. The ship's mission is to deliver vital aid and show that global solidarity can defy occupation, siege, and silence. At 00:23 Maltese time, the vessel was struck twice at the front, igniting a fire and breaching the hull.
The drone targeted the ship’s generator, rendering it immobile and risking it sinking in international waters near Malta. Initial reports show that only southern Cyprus responded to the SOS signal, while the rest of the international community failed to act.
