An American vessel used to unload humanitarian aid from ships into the Gaza Strip via a floating pier disconnected from a small boat tugging it this morning due to stormy seas, leading it to get stuck on the coast of Ashdod, eyewitnesses say.
Another ship was then sent to try and extract the stuck vessel, but also got beached.
There are no reports of injuries in the incident.
