It stood a few seconds on top of a bunch of life jackets, and then dropped a bomb.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/09\/634ed8b3-0bab-4f75-a556-f7d54fa848ff\/thumbnail\/620x403\/3744f37f3d5b541ae6be75475c71c74b\/screenshot-2025-09-09-at-12-52-22.png#\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-09-09-at-12-52-22.png \" height=\"403\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/09\/634ed8b3-0bab-4f75-a556-f7d54fa848ff\/thumbnail\/620x403\/3744f37f3d5b541ae6be75475c71c74b\/screenshot-2025-09-09-at-12-52-22.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">This screen grab from a security video shared by the Global Sumud Flotilla on Sept. 9, 2025 appears to show a ball of flames hitting one of the flotilla&#8217;s vessels as it sits docked in Tunisia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Global Sumud Flotilla<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Duarte said the &#8220;bomb exploded, there was a big flame, a fire on board immediately.

making to investigate, and we are waiting pending the final outcome,&#8221; the flotilla spokesperson told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Tunisia&#8217;s Interior Ministry did not immediately respond to CBS
