Overview

  • Organizers say multiple drones flew over the convoy southwest of Crete overnight, with explosions heard from several boats and no casualties reported.
  • Witness accounts describe between nine and thirteen detonations, jamming of communications, unidentified objects dropped, and some vessels reportedly damaged.
  • Video released by the flotilla shows an explosion at sea, and an activist said five boats were targeted with an estimated 15 to 16 drones.
  • Israel reiterates it will stop any attempt to reach Gaza by sea and says it offered docking at Ashkelon for coordinated land transfer of aid, which its embassy in France says the flotilla declined.
  • France says it is awaiting confirmation from Greek authorities, as the 51-boat convoy with participants from dozens of countries continues its stated mission to deliver aid and break the blockade.
