TUNIS, 10 Sept. - (ANA) - An international activist flotilla seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza says it was attacked for the second night in a row on Wednesday.

 

The Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement that one of its boats, the British-flagged “Alma,” was attacked by a drone as it was docked in Tunisian waters and pointed fingers at Israel. No one was harmed.

 

The group shared security camera footage showing people on board shouting “fire” and pointing to the sky when flames fell from the sky, impacting the deck and causing a ball of fire.

 

The attack appeared similar to the one sustained the night before by the Portuguese-flagged “Family” vessel.

 

Tunisian authorities on Tuesday had denied claims that the first attack had been caused by drones, adding they were investigating. There was no immediate reaction to the second attack.

 

The flotilla, consisting of around 20 boats, departed Barcelona with a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid on September 1. It had planned a stop in Tunis before sailing to Gaza again.

 

“These repeat attacks come during intensified Israeli aggression on Palestinians in Gaza, and are an orchestrated attempt to distract and derail our mission,” the group said in its statement. “The Global Sumud Flotilla continues undeterred.”

 

There was no immediate reaction from Israeli authorities.   - (ANA) -
