Thunberg's Gaza Aid Flotilla Harassed by Drones: Israel Responds

Greta Thunberg's Freedom Flotilla: A Humanitarian Mission Amidst Drone Harassment The waters off the coast of Greece became a stage for a humanitarian mission and a geopolitical standoff. The Freedom Flotilla, led by climate activist Greta Thunberg, set sail from Catania, Sicily, carrying essential supplies to Gaza. Their journey, however, was not without incident. Activists reported being harassed by Israeli drones, a claim supported by video footage. "We confirmed the presence of a drone while we were 80 kilometers off the coast," said one activist. The Israeli military responded by stating their navy was deployed to protect Israeli maritime borders. A spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, Effie Defrin, confirmed the mobilization, emphasizing the need to safeguard their borders. Despite the alleged harassment, the flotilla remains determined to reach Gaza, aiming to deliver vital aid and challenge the blockade. This event underscores the ongoing tensions in the region and the determination of humanitarian groups to deliver aid despite political obstacles.
