Un navire chargé d’aide humanitaire vers Ghaza attaqué par deux drones de l’armée sioniste près de Malte
Summary of the Incident Involving the Freedom Flotilla Coalition
On Friday, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition reported that one of its humanitarian aid ships en route to Gaza was attacked by two Israeli drones in international waters near Malta. This coalition, an international NGO, is known for organizing humanitarian convoys aimed at breaking the blockade imposed on Gaza.
At the time of the attack, there were 30 people on board the vessel. The incident occurred approximately 17 nautical miles east of Malta, resulting in a fire breaking out within the ship. In response to this emergency, the vessel issued a distress signal, to which Maltese authorities promptly reacted by dispatching a tugboat.
The Maltese government confirmed that the tugboat arrived at the scene at 1:28 AM local time and successfully extinguished the fire. Remarkably, all onboard were reported safe. It was emphasized that while the vessel was outside Malta’s territorial waters, it would be closely monitored.
This incident harks back to a similar event in 2010 when Israeli forces conducted a deadly raid on a humanitarian aid ship from Turkey, aiming to disrupt the blockade on Gaza.
