00:00In the early hours of Friday, Spain's navy vessel Furore departed from the Cartagena
00:07harbor to join Italy in assisting the Global Sumud Flotilla, a civilian-led initiative
00:12aiming to deliver aid to Gaza. The flotilla is using about 50 civilian boats to try to
00:18break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza. Many lawyers, parliamentarians, and activists,
00:23including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, are on board. Italy sent a first
00:28frigate on Wednesday, hours after the flotilla said it was targeted by drones that dropped
00:33stun grenades and itching powder on the vessels as they sailed in international waters 30 nautical
00:38miles off the Greek island of Gavdos. No one was hurt, but some damage was caused to the vessels.
