Reports indicate that Greta Thunberg’s flotilla was subjected to a barrage of Abba music after its radios were reportedly hijacked.

The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) reportedly attributed the incident to Israel, noting the continuous playback of Abba’s “Lay All Your Love On Me” for several hours, which was potentially a taunt referencing Thunberg’s Swedish heritage.

This flotilla is part of a larger initiative involving scores of vessels from 44 nations, transporting humanitarian aid like food, water, and medicine to Gaza civilians. GB News stated that multiple ships within the convoy were affected by this sonic assault.

“Our radio is being jammed,” GSF member Yasemin Acar explained in a video where Abba could be heard playing loudly. Acar further noted, “We are unsure of the source of this sound, but other ships are encountering the identical issue.”

On social media, the GSF asserted that drones had on Tuesday reportedly struck multiple vessels in the flotilla, causing alleged damage to communication devices and certain masts.

The flotilla is expected to be approximately 200 miles from Gaza’s coast within days. Earlier this month, Tunisian authorities dismissed the group’s assertion that one of its primary ships was hit by a drone.

The organization stated that the Portuguese-flagged vessel suffered damage to its main deck and lower storage compartments, though no injuries occurred. According to Reuters, Tunisia’s Interior Ministry declared that claims of a drone attack at Sidi Bou Said port “were unfounded” and confirmed an investigation into a deck fire.

In a statement, the GSF declared, “Aggressive actions intended to intimidate and disrupt our mission will not dissuade us.” They added, “Our peaceful endeavor to end the siege on Gaza and support its population persists with steadfastness and commitment.”

Thunberg’s second effort to lead a flotilla takes place amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza, a conflict that the Hamas-administered Gaza health ministry reports has claimed over 63,000 lives.

Prior to her departure, Thunberg presented the mission as an act of survival during a press conference held in Barcelona.

“This narrative centers on Palestine. It highlights how individuals are intentionally denied fundamental necessities for survival,” Thunberg stated, claiming Israel was infringing international law through “illegally stopping boats in international waters” and obstructing humanitarian assistance to civilians.

This is not Thunberg’s initial attempt to deliver aid. Last June, she was deported after Israeli forces intercepted her vessel, the Madleen, with 11 other individuals aboard. Israel has maintained a naval blockade on Gaza since Hamas took power in 2007, asserting its necessity to deter weapon smuggling.

The blockade continues throughout the present conflict, which was ignited by an attack on Israel.
