One of the main Sumud Flotillaboats docked at the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said (north-east coast) has reported being attacked by a drone, as confirmed by the ship's crew.
"Flotilla Global Sumud (GSF) has confirmed that one of its main ships, known as the 'Family Ship', which carried members of the GSF Steering Committee, has been hit and suspected to have been a drone," account X.
They have specified that the ship is flying the Portuguese flag and that "all passengers and crew are safe", while stressing that such attacks are carried out to" intimidate and frustrate "them and that they will not be stopped.
Saif Abukesh, GSF's coordinator in Spain, has stated that although they were not on board at the time, there are two Spaniards there: the former mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau, and himself.
According to spokespersons for the Tunisian fleet present on the affected ship, the fire "has not caused significant damage, but is superficial," and that ship "can travel" on Wednesday.
However, the General Directorate of the Tunisian National Guard has denied in a statement that it was "a drone" that allegedly attacked that ship.
According to the Tunisian authorities, the fire "originated in the life jackets of that ship" and "exploded by a lighter or butt".
The note issued by the National Guard states that "there is no action against or external aggression".
However, minutes later, the flotilla has posted a video on social media showing "the exact moment when the family boat has hit the top."
Black and white figures show that a kind of fireball falls from top to bottom and hits the ship, causing a flash of light and then a fire.
At the moment, there is no official confirmation as to whether or not the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who is part of the fleet's crew, was on board.
For her part, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has also confirmed the attack, adding that "two other flotillas are heading for Tunisia and need urgent protection".
After learning of the incident, hundreds of Tunisians travelled this morning to the port of Sidi Bou Said in solidarity with the world's flotilla, according to videos broadcast on the networks.
The protesters have repeated cries like "Long live Palestine. "
