- On September 9, the British-flagged boat Alma from the Global Sumud Flotilla was attacked by a drone while docked in Tunisian waters near Sidi Bou Said, sustaining fire damage to its top deck but with all passengers safe.
- This attack followed a similar assault the previous night on the Portuguese-flagged Family boat, also part of the flotilla, indicating a repeated pattern of attacks on vessels involved in the Gaza aid mission.

- Organizers described the use of an incendiary device dropped by a drone, confirmed ongoing investigations, and stated these attacks are orchestrated attempts to distract and derail their peaceful mission, while UN experts urged full protection of the flotilla’s passengers.
- The flotilla remains resolute in its mission to reach Gaza, despite Israeli plans to intercept the boats and arrest activists like Greta Thunberg, signifying continued international activism against the ongoing siege.
