Drones attacked a vessel carrying aid to Gaza in international waters off Malta, according to the group organizing the shipment. It marked the latest confrontation over efforts to deliver assistance to the Palestinian territory, which has been devastated by nearly 19 months of war. The vessel was carrying 12 crew members and four civilians; no injuries were reported. The attack comes as Israel’s total blockade on supplies into the enclave reaches the two-month mark, with tensions rising as Gaza’s resources decrease.
