Hitting another ship of the Global Sumud Flotilla: whoever wants to bring help to Gaza continue to scare

And we are two. The attacks on the boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla pass by two.

Also last night, in fact, Tuesday 9 September, one of the boats (Alma, who beats British flag) directed to Gaza to break the naval block imposed by Israel, was affected – always presumably by a drone – in the Tunisian waters off Sidi Bou Said, in the northern suburbs of Tunis, causing a fire on the upper bridge then tamed.

There is no injuries between passengers and crew, but – after the first attack on the night between 8 and 9 – the fact remains of unheard of gravity.

Even Francesca Albanese, special speaker of the United Nations for human rights in occupied Palestine, shared a post that describes the second Raid to the Flotilla in detail:

Video tests suggest that a drone, free of light and therefore not visible, has released a device that has set fire to the bridge of the Alma boat. Expert sources suggest that it was an incendiary grenade wrapped in plastic materials immersed in fuel, which could have set fire before landing on the ship.

After the attack on the main boat of the fleet, the Family, a few hours ago, the Tunisian National Guard had spoken of a simple stake on board perhaps caused by a cigarette, but the videos clearly show an object that falls from above and causes a fire. The same thing happened now.

As we know, Israel is not new to this form of oppression and total aversion to international law. Only last May, he had attacked and seriously damaged the ship The Conscience, on duty with the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), affected by two drones, who set the engine fire and caused a hole in the hull. At the time of the attack, the ship was anchored in international waters near Malta. In 2010, an Israeli commando attacked the ship Mavi Marmara in international waters, with the death of 10 activists and the injury of dozens of people. The ship, owned and managed by a Turkish NGO, transported humanitarian aid and over 600 passengers.

But now activists comment:

Despite another attack on one of our boats in Tunisia with American citizens on board, the resilience and spirit of the people are stronger here than ever. A united people can never be defeated.

Come on, Flotilla, we will continue to support you!
