Recently, a British-flagged boat named Alma, operated by activists seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza, sustained fire damage off the Tunisian coast. The vessel was part of the Sumud Flotilla, which reportedly suffered a prior drone attack. Tunisian authorities denied any knowledge of any drones in the area. This marks the second alleged drone attack on a vessel attempting to breach the Gaza blockade, heightening concerns over this controversial method of interference.
In recent years, vessels carrying humanitarian aid have been intercepted or attacked with little to no consequence. The ambiguity surrounding this recent incident, along with the apparent increase in drone usage, sparks the question of who was responsible and the extent of involvement.
"This latest attack on the Greta Thunberg sailboat is extremely concerning," stated UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. "We strongly condemn these acts of violence against civilian vessels carrying out their duties with the utmost necessity." With increasing tensions and uncertainty surrounding the region, the question remains: Will justice be served, or will it be another case of ignored interference?
As more information comes to light, the implications of these drone attacks and whether they will deter future attempts to break the controversial blockade remain uncertain.
