BREAKING NEWS: Israel Hits Gaza-Bound Freedom Flotilla — What We Know So Far
May 2, 2025
An Israeli drone struck a ship carrying humanitarian aid to the war-torn and besieged Gaza Strip while it was in international waters near Malta on Friday.
According to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which organised the mission, the attack appeared to deliberately target the ship’s generator, sparking a fire and causing a “substantial breach in the hull” that left the vessel in danger of sinking.
The FFC, a coalition of nonviolent activists campinging to end the Israeli siege on Gaza, said they organised the missing under a media blackout “to avoid any potential sabotage”.
The ship, which set sail shortly before the attack, carried at least 30 people from 21 countries, including “prominent figures”.
