Italy is sending a ship to accompany the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who said its activists remain shaken but determined following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.
Organisers of expedition, which is attempting to carry aid to the Gaza Strip, shared footage this morning appears to show an explosion that detonated on one of the flotilla’s vessels.
Late on Tuesday activists heard explosions and saw 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.
“I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy’s frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area,” Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement.
For me, the Iran strikes and quick ceasefire was what lead me to despair. If that wasn’t the moment to finally destroy this rot, then it will never come. Every day that passes the resistance gets weaker and Iran closer to color revolution.
The quick ceasefire happened because the Iranian state is so rotten it could have not formed a cohesive front to actually fight a war. The strikes on Tehran actually helped the anti-west faction immensely and reversed the soviet-unionization of the islamic republic, well if the anti-west faction takes the opportunity.
Its true that the fall of syria did destroy the axis of resistance (sans yemen), but iranian libs were well on their way to do that on their own.
Well, they were our one realistic hope and so if this is the case then it’s pretty fucking grim
They werent. And honestly I wasnt expecting them to, because of that lib chauvinistic component. And in comparison to last year and the years before, the situation is much better, before that even most of the far left was enthralled by liberal zionism, today we have clarity of purpose.
