    Yes the bombing was according to witnesses on the boat done a quadcopter. Missiles also drop diagonally, and this was from the top.

    Still the Gulfstream looks suspicious. It might have landed the drone crew and a boat. Or dropped the drone from the air. Or maybe it is not related at all.

    In any case the Tunesian coast guard denied there being a bombing and says a life jacket caught fire. Which does not check out and only makes this more suspicious.

      Hard to believe it’s in any way connected. I’d be extremely surprised if Mosad/Aman didn’t have sufficient resources in Libia, especially minding what they had in place in Iran, and how important Libia is. But also; they dont stand to gain anything from this attack and not in line with their doctrine; they don’t to symbolic attacks, they go all out in a show of force. This meanwhile stirs up interest and support for the flotilla, without causing major issues outside of single boat. Id expect that to be an attack from any other actor looking to stir shit up, rather than Israel.
