drone appears to have struck a boat from the Global Sumud Flotilla while it was docked at a Tunisian port on its way to bring aid into Gaza, temporarily starting a fire.

      That’s more evident still doesn’t look like a drone but it does look like an attack.

        So what vehicle would drop an object directly from above from a short distance?

        The only explanation is a drone. The next bigger thing would be a helicopter. A plane is not possible as it cannot drop objects vertically due to its forward momentum. And a helicopter attack would certainly be even more severe than a drone attack.

          The military of the us and by extension israel have all sorts of guided munitions that could be dropped from planes, including loitering munitions that cruise way up for hours or days before being guided down for striking.

          Point being they have the most advanced military gear on the planet and it could have been plane related they have many options as the us refuses to check their impulses for real even when using us weapons to target westerners and us citizens.

              Yes I suppose so but the nature of some of these weapons is kind of hybrid between the two. We do not refer to a guided missile as a drone and they have all manners of everything in between missiles and drones.
