    The first one Tunisia even denied there’s any attack and say the fire come from the vessel itself, which if you watch the video it’s obviously come from above and strike the vessel.

    So Tunisia might have something to do with the attack seeing they’re so suspiciously in denial.

      I suspect Tunisia is one of those countries that desperately tries to appear tough to their population. It’s a national embarrassment to have a foreign nation attack vessels in your water without you noticing.

        Support for palestine is one thing that you can’t mess with in tunisia since 99% of tunisisn are very anti israeli terrorism and anti occupation

      Or they’re just really really hoping they don’t get dragged into this.

        Then they would just say they’re “investigating” and wait for the story to disappear. The fact they are instantly declaring it fake news proves they are involved.

          or it is an additional layer, like: its fake news so we don’t have to investigate -> it can’t be denied anymore -> we investigate forever so we don’t get targeted by israel and the gang

      I don’t want to deny any claim that Tunisia government is shit but the flotilla has been reporting drones following them since they departed from Spain.

      https://imemc.org/article/israeli-drones-seen-above-flotilla-of-50-humanitarian-aid-ships-en-route-to-gaza/

      “The Sumud Flotilla set sail from Barcelona Spain on Tuesday, and already, on the second night of the week-long voyage, faced the buzzing of Israeli surveillance drones overhead. The flotilla is in international waters, and unannounced aerial surveillance drones are illegal under maritime law.”
