ATHENS/ROME: Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto on Wednesday strongly condemned an overnight attack on an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza.
In a statement, Crosetto also said he had redirected an Italian navy ship to head toward the flotilla to possibly offer assistance.
Organizers of the Gaza-bound flotilla said late Tuesday they heard explosions and saw multiple drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece.
“Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats,” the Global Sumud Flotilla said in a statement, without adding whether there were any casualties.
“We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated,” the statement said.
