The Hanthala ship has re-set sail from the Italian port of Gallipoli towards Gaza, after a temporary halt due to technical issues that have now been resolved. The ship is on a mission to deliver humanitarian aid to the Strip.
The Hanthala ship, which recently joined the Freedom Flotilla, set sail on July 13 from the Italian port of Syracuse, before docking at Gallipoli on July 15 to resolve some technical issues.
On Sunday afternoon, Hanthala left Gallipoli, accompanied by songs and chants from Palestinian supporters.
Some Palestine supporters accompanied the Hanthala ship, carrying 21 activists, on small boats for some time.
It's worth noting that the Gaza blockade-breaking ship, "Al-Dameer," was attacked by an Israeli drone on May 2nd while attempting to sail toward Gaza, causing a hole in its hull and a fire in its bow.
On June 9, the Israeli military seized the "Madeleine," a ship part of the "Freedom Flotilla," in international waters while en route to the besieged Gaza Strip to deliver humanitarian aid. The ship was arrested along with 12 international activists on board. Israel later deported the activists on condition that they pledge not to return.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving more than 200,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced persons and a famine that has claimed the lives of many.
