The Israeli army attacked the “Conscience,” a humanitarian aid ship from the Freedom Flotilla group en route to Gaza, in international waters off Malta. The ship was reportedly hit by a drone overnight, causing a fire and a breach in the hull, endangering its ability to stay afloat. Malta confirmed all 30 people onboard were safe and dispatched firefighting and patrol vessels. The incident comes as Gaza remains under an Israeli blockade since March 2, with aid severely restricted.
