Tunisia’s national guard said their investigation was ongoing but “no drones have been detected”. “According to preliminary findings, a fire broke out in the life jackets on board a ship anchored 50 miles from the port of Sidi Bou Said, Houcem Eddine Jebabli, a spokesperson for the national guard was quoted by AFP news agency as saying.

The Tunisian authorities suggested that the fire might have been caused by a cigarette.

I don't trust Israel or the Tunisian authorities, but we should be very careful with accusations until we get real prove

The people on the flotilla are the ones who said they saw the drone, while they were anchored 80 km from port. I don't see how authorities could so confidently dispute something they weren't there to see. There's also video from the ships, but considering it was at night, I doubt it's very illuminating. I don't see how the authorities could already have evidence better than what the flotilla has shared, plus they also have incentive to bury the story.

I'm defaulting to believing the people opposed to the genocidal state unless I'm given compelling reason not to. I would be willing to be proven wrong, but the excuses so far are weak.
