The GSF also posted a video showing blackened floors and walls of the foredeck.

“Acts of aggression aimed at intimidating and derailing our mission will not deter us. Our peaceful mission to break the siege on Gaza and stand in solidarity with its people continues with determination and resolve,” the group added on Instagram.
