A humanitarian aid ship, the Conscience, was bombed by drones while in international waters near Malta as it traveled toward Gaza. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition reported that the attack caused significant damage and fire, endangering the vessel and its crew of 12 with 4 civilian passengers. The group accused Israel of the strike, which reportedly targeted the boat's generator, crippling its operations. This incident occurs amidst heightened tensions and Israel's blockade of Gaza, further complicating efforts to deliver crucial supplies to the region's inhabitants facing humanitarian crises.
"The strike appeared to target the boat's generator early on Friday, leaving the boat without power and at risk of sinking, the activists said."
"The group said activists from 21 countries were on board on a mission to challenge Israel's illegal and deadly siege of Gaza and to deliver desperately needed, life-saving aid."
