Overview

• Organizers say the Family boat caught fire after being hit from above in Sidi Bou Said, sharing video of a luminous object striking the vessel, with no injuries reported.
• Tunisia’s National Guard rejects claims of an external attack and cites preliminary findings of a blaze that began in lifejackets, possibly from a lighter or cigarette.
• The flotilla later reported a second incident affecting the Alma, stating another drone caused a small fire that was extinguished and that all aboard were safe.
• UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese called for protection for the convoy, organizers accused Israel of trying to derail the mission, and Israeli authorities offered no comment.
• Ships remain in Tunisia with plans to sail Wednesday toward Gaza, drawing local crowds guarding the vessels, and carrying high‑profile participants including Greta Thunberg and Ada Colau to deliver aid and challenge the blockade.
