Italy has sent a navy frigate to assist a flotilla of pro-Palestinian activists including Greta Thunberg, the Swedish campaigner, after the vessels were attacked overnight by drones.
The group of more than 50 vessels trying to deliver aid to Gaza was targeted in waters near Crete by drones that dropped explosives, damaging boats, as well as grenades containing irritant gas.
The Global Sumud flotilla blamed Israel for the attacks and said the drones caused 13 explosions as they targeted the sails of at least 11 of the vessels, although no one was injured.
