ORGANISERS of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists said this week that one of their boats was hit by a suspected UAV off the coast of Tunisia, but authorities there said “no drones” had been detected.

The flotilla, which aims to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, arrived in Tunisia over the weekend and was anchored off the coast of Sidi Bou Said when it reported the incident.

“The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) confirms that one of the main boats... was struck by what is suspected to be a drone,’ the organisers said on social media, adding no one was hurt.

They shared security camera footage from the boat in which a humming sound can be heard, before a flash of light illuminates the frame.
