Pro-Palestinian activists gather at the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia after organizers of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla said that another of their boats had been struck in a suspected drone attack off Tunisia’s coast, 24 hours after a similar incident.
Pro-Palestinian activists have gathered near the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia following reports of a second suspected drone strike targeting a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. Organizers of the flotilla claim that another of their boats was struck off the Tunisian coast, just 24 hours after a similar incident affected another vessel.
Second Alleged Drone Strike
The organizers of the aid flotilla, which aims to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, have condemned the alleged attacks, claiming they were deliberate attempts to sabotage their mission. Details surrounding the incidents remain scarce, but organizers assert that drone strikes were the cause.
Activists Demand Investigation
The gathering at the port of Sidi Bou Said saw activists expressing their outrage and calling for an immediate and transparent investigation into the alleged attacks. They are demanding that the Tunisian government and international bodies take action to ensure the safety of humanitarian missions.
No Confirmation of Responsibility
As of yet, no entity has claimed responsibility for the alleged drone strikes. The Israeli military has not commented on the incidents. The lack of clarity surrounding the attacks has fueled speculation and heightened tensions.
Aid Flotilla’s Mission
The Gaza-bound aid flotilla is comprised of several vessels carrying humanitarian aid and supplies intended for the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. The organizers aim to challenge the ongoing Israeli blockade of Gaza, which they argue has created a humanitarian crisis. The situation is developing and further updates are expected.
