Watch: Gaza Freedom Flotilla Says It Has Been Attacked Off The Coast Of Malta
A Gaza “freedom flotilla” warned earlier this morning that one of its vessels was attacked off the coast of Malta in international waters.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which is campaigning to end Israel’s blockade of Gaza, said drones shot at the vessel at around 00:23am.
A video published by the coalition appears to show a fire burning on a ship.
“The front of the vessel was targeted twice, resulting in a fire and a breach in the hull,” they said. “The ship is currently located in international waters near Malta.”
“An SOS distress signal was sent out, to which only southern Cyprus has responded by dispatching a vessel. No other countries have responded. The drone attack appears to have specifically targeted the ship’s generator, and the vessel is now at risk of sinking with 30 international human rights activists on board. Call the Maltese government now.”
