"Israel is currently committing ever graver atrocities as it advances its assault on Gaza City. "We know it has a history of attacking the flotilla and then following it up immediately with far graver assaults in Gaza. "It's what happened after the first two drone strikes in Tunisia: Israel proceeded to significantly intensify its forced displacement in North Gaza, as well as bombing Quatar, Syria and Lebanon."
""We have sent one ship and another is on its way, ready for any eventuality," Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a speech to the lower house of parliament. Italy sent a first frigate on Wednesday, hours after the GSF said it was targeted by drones that dropped stun grenades and itching powder, in international waters 30 nautical miles (56 km) off the Greek island of Gavdos. It then sent a second navy ship."
The Global Sumud Flotilla is using about 50 civilian boats to attempt to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. Many lawyers and activists, including Greta Thunberg and Irish participants, are aboard. Italian authorities reported drone attacks on the flotilla in international waters off Gavdos that dropped stun grenades and itching powder. Italy deployed a frigate and a second navy ship, and Spain sent a military warship to protect the flotilla. GSF vessels reported moderate drone activity while sailing in Greek territorial waters and planned to head toward international waters. Naoise Dolan reported high civilian deaths in Gaza and urged continued international focus on Gaza.
