ROME, Italy — Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto strongly condemns an alleged overnight attack on an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza.
In a statement, Crosetto also says he had redirected an Italian navy ship to head towards the flotilla to possibly offer assistance.
Organizers of the Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists say they heard explosions and saw multiple drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece.
