Activists involved in a flotilla trying to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza said some of their boats were attacked by drones overnight while sailing south of Greece on Sept. 24.
The Global Sumud Flotilla said it was attacked during the night by “unidentified drones and communications jamming.” It stated that “at least 13 explosions” were heard on and around several boats and that “unidentified objects” were dropped on at least 10 of their vessels.
