The organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla have reported new "dangerous attacks" targeting their mission, which departed Barcelona for Gaza on September 1.

They reported explosions and unidentified drones near their vessels, and interference with their communications.

"We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, but we will not be intimidated," the organizers stated.

They condemned what they described as the "repugnant lengths to which Israel and its allies are willing to go to prolong the genocide in Gaza."

In a statement, they said that such tactics would not deter them from continuing their humanitarian mission to deliver aid to Gaza.

"Every attempt to intimidate us only strengthens our resolve. We will not be silenced. We will keep sailing," they declared.

The flotilla also reported drones flying above the forty boats heading towards the Gaza Strip on Sunday night, including one they identified as United States-operated.
