“Greta Thunberg’s flotilla carrying humanitarian aid toward Gaza was struck by a drone in Tunisian waters, its organizers said late Monday. Crew members said the drone hit Global Sumud Flotilla’s (GSF) main vessel when its was anchored outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. The boat sustained damage to its main deck and below-deck storage, according to footage published on X by the GSF. Nobody on board was harmed. … Tunisian authorities, however, denied the reports of a drone attack. Houcem Eddine Jebabli, a spokesperson for Tunisia’s national guard, said an investigation was ‘ongoing’ but ‘no drones have been detected,’ calling the reports ‘completely unfounded.’ ‘According to preliminary findings, a fire broke out in the life jackets on board a ship anchored 50 miles from the port of Sidi Bou Said,’ he added, suggesting that fire might have been caused by a cigarette.” (09/09/25)
