Following reports that several drones targeted the Gaza-bound Global Flotilla, Italy is sending a naval vessel to protect the boats.
Activists say it is the seventh attack on the flotilla. The Sumud Global Flotilla is preparing to set sail for Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli blockade.
Passengers on the flotilla also include Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela's grandson, and South African MP Mandla Mandela.
