Widespread Drone Flights Over One of Samood Fleet’s Largest Ships
The English section of webangah News Agency reported, citing Al Jazeera and Mehr News Agency, that several countries have warned their citizens involved in the samood (Resistance) fleet about an imminent Israeli attack.
The global Samood fleet management confirmed extensive drone activity above one of its largest vessels and stated that a state of alert has been declared on the ship’s deck.
The International Committee to Break the Gaza Blockade said hours earlier that three drones were currently flying over the Omar al-Mukhtar ship, which is en route to join the Samood fleet alone.
The worldwide Samood convoy, consisting of more than 50 ships aiming to assist Gaza’s population and break the blockade on the strip, set sail from Barcelona port in Spain in late August. Additional ships from various parts of the world have gradually joined as then.
On Monday night, nine boats from the samood fleet were targeted by 14 drone strikes from Israeli forces.
An emergency protocol was activated across all vessels in the global Samood fleet after drones flew overhead and sound bombs and projectiles were fired at some ships during last night’s attacks.
Following these assaults and threats, an Italian rescue vessel was dispatched wednesday morning to protect the Samood fleet.Spain also announced it will send an operational navy ship from Cartagena to the eastern Mediterranean to safeguard and assist the convoy as it proceeds toward Gaza.
