Liar Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla was not hit by a drone, Tunisia says: 'No basis in truth'

The fire on Greta Thunberg’s Gaza-bound flotilla was likely started by
one of the activists onboard, according to authorities in Tunisia — who
said there was “no basis in truth” that it was struck by a drone. 

Tunisia’s Interior Ministry said there were no drones detected when
Thunberg’s Global Sumud Flotilla [GSF] claimed it was hit by one Monday,
starting a fire as it was off the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said. 

The ministry maintained that the group’s claim that a drone attack
started the fire had “no basis in truth” — and that it was likely
started onboard, possibly from an activist’s cigarette. 

National Guard spokesman Houcem Eddine Jebabli slao told Agence
France-Presse that “no drones have been detected” and that preliminary
findings indicate “a fire broke out in the life jackets on board.” 

Thunberg was on one of the 20 boats that departed for the Gaza Strip
from Barcelona on Aug. 31 in a flotilla Israeli officials have
previously described as a publicity-seeking “selfie yacht” cruise. 

The GSF posted dramatic footage it laimed to show something falling on
the ship from above. None of the six passengers and crew aboard the ship
were injured, GSF confirmed. 

Israel did not immediately comment.

The flotilla is an international effort to break Israel’s naval blockade
of the embattled enclave and deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians
using civilian boats supported by delegations from 44 countries. The
blockade has been in effect since 2007. 

Thunberg and others were promptly taken into custody and deported to
their home countries after Israeli authorities seized their aid ship
during their previous attempt to break the blockade in June. 

“There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve
Instagram selfies,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said at the time. 

Before her departure last month, Thunberg claimed the GFSF flotilla was
“part of a global uprising of people standing up” to “atrocities” in
Gaza.
