Over 15 drones hovered over boat in Global Sumud humanitarian aid flotilla

The Global Sumud Flotilla said Tuesday evening that more than 15 drones flew at low altitude over one of its boats for hours, calling the move an attempt to intimidate the humanitarian aid flotilla and also a possible intelligence-gathering operation.

In a post on US social media company X, the flotilla said the drones appeared “roughly every 10 minutes” over a ship called the Alma, which is part of the convoy aiming to reach Gaza and challenge Israel’s illegal blockade.

“We believe these drones are intended to intimidate, potentially gathering intelligence for Israel,” the group said.

The flotilla, which includes dozens of boats, is sailing in international waters with humanitarian aid bound for Gaza.
