Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly approved an illegal drone attack on two boats from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla docked in Tunisia. US outlet CBS News reported, citing American intelligence officials briefed on the matter, said Israeli forces launched drones from a submarine and dropped incendiary devices onto the boats, which were moored outside Tunisian port Sidi Bou Said, causing a fire. No one was killed or injured in the attacks, which targeted a Portuguese-flagged vessel and a British-flagged vessel in separate incidents on September 8 and 9. The use of incendiary weapons against civilian populations or objects is prohibited in all circumstances under international humanitarian law and the law of armed conflict. This week, Israeli forces intercepted more than 40 civilian boats and arrested about 500 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla as they attempted to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza. Israel has a long history of intercepting and attacking flotillas bound for the Gaza Strip, particularly since it imposed a blockade on the enclave in 2007.
