Tunisian authorities said the first explosion came from inside the vessel, rejecting the claim it was hit off the country’s coast.

A Gaza-bound flotilla carrying humanitarian aid and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg reported a dramatic scare this week after what organizers described as a suspected drone strike caused a fire on one of its vessels off the Tunisian coast.

At around 6 a. m. , a cell comprising three terrorists arrived on the outskirts of Sheikh Radwan in northern Gaza, opened fire, and threw an explosive device into the tank.

Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound boat was rocked by an explosion before catching fire off the Tunisian coast on Monday night, forcing activists to abandon ship. The post WATCH: Activists Scramble to Abandon Ship After Greta Thunberg’s Gaza Flotilla Rocked by Explosion first appeared on Mediaite.

Tunisia’s national guard said their investigation was ongoing, but “no drones have been detected”. “According to preliminary findings, a fire broke out in the life jackets on board a ship anchored 50 miles from the port of Sidi Bou Said, Houcem Eddine Jebabli, a spokesperson for the national guard, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

Conflicting claims emerge after the Global Sumud Flotilla says a drone struck its “Family Boat” in Tunisia; authorities dispute the attack while the aid mission to break the Gaza siege vows to continue.

The group said the boat is a main one in the fleet, and was carrying Greta Thunberg at one point prior to the strike.

Qatar slams Israeli attacks on Hamas leaders in Doha as "state terrorism" after the bombardment rocks the tiny U.S. ally and dashes hopes of a ceasefire in Gaza

DOHA, Qatar — Israel’s military said Tuesday it carried out an airstrike targeting Hamas leadership, without saying where. The announcement came as an explosion could be heard in Doha, Qatar’s capital.

A second boat in the activist flotilla setting sail to Gaza has been attacked in as many days, with activists blaming Israel and vowing to continue their journey to break Israel’s near-total humanitarian aid blockade.
