Mallinson said that the cause of the damage to the boat, formerly named Family and now called Gaza City, remains unclear, but sabotage is a possibility. The boat had been moored in Greek waters following recent drone attacks. Late on Tuesday, activists heard explosions and saw drones that targeted some of their boats. “Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed, and explosions heard from a number of boats,” the Global Sumud Flotilla said. In recent days, Israel has stepped up its threats against the flotilla, accusing organisers, without evidence, of supporting Hamas and of pursuing “a violent course of action”. Bringing together more than 300 activists from 44 countries, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, the civilian flotilla is the largest maritime aid convoy to head for Gaza since Israel began its genocide of Palestinians in October 2023.
