Overview

• Organizers said drones, sonic and flash devices, irritant sprays and communications jamming struck the convoy overnight with no reported injuries.
• At least two vessels were damaged, including Zefiro with a broken forestay and Morgana with its mainsail rendered unusable, while Taigete was also affected.
• Italy’s defense minister Guido Crosetto condemned the attack by as‑yet unidentified actors and sent the navy frigate Fasan toward the area for possible assistance.
• Opposition parties PD, M5S and Avs occupied the Chamber of Deputies demanding government action, and Crosetto will brief Parliament the following day.
• Flotilla organizers blamed Israel, which has said it will not allow a breach of its naval blockade and urged aid to be offloaded at Ashkelon, and reports note similar incidents off Tunisia earlier this month.
