Drone Attacks Target “Global Sumud Flotilla” in the Mediterranean (Video)
Several vessels from the humanitarian “Sumud” flotilla were struck by drone attacks in the Mediterranean Sea. At least 15 drones flew over the convoy, with 12 direct strikes hitting 9 boats. More than 13 explosions were heard near the ships, and unidentified objects were reportedly dropped on 10 vessels, causing damage.
The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Palestine condemned the attacks and called for immediate protective measures for the convoy. The Global Sumud Flotilla also issued a statement warning that the Israeli regime is spreading misleading information to justify military strikes against the humanitarian mission.
This marks the second attack on the Sumud flotilla in recent days. On the morning of September 8, one of its boats was targeted by an unidentified drone near the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia.
Drone strikes on a civilian fleet with a humanitarian purpose represent a clear violation of international law and humanitarian principles. Such actions could be classified as war crimes under UN frameworks. The assault on Al-Sumoud is not merely a military act, it sends a political message aimed at deterring international activists working to break the blockade on Gaza.
