Incendiary Munitions Strike Gaza-bound Flotilla Two Nights in a Row - bellingcat On September 8 and 9, two vessels of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) were attacked outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. Bellingcat analysed footage and images from both incidents. ...

The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

While the ceasefire allowed displaced Palestinians to return north, the destruction in Northern Gaza will leave many homeless. Bellingcat's analysis of 50 shelters for internally displaced people, suggests that many former shelters have been damaged or destroyed. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/02...
