A flotilla of ships, which included over 500 volunteers, among them Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, was the target of drone and explosive attacks on its way to Gaza.

The Global Sumud flotilla reported that, on Wednesday, when it was 600 nautical miles from the Gaza Strip, several of its ships were targeted by swarms of drones flying overhead, noise bombs, and explosive fireworks, as well as communication barriers. The attacks were also reported by several activists on board the ships.
