Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla hit by drone, organisers claim
Tunisia's National Guard spokesman told Mosaique FM radio that reports of a drone attack on the flotilla "have no basis in truth", Reuters reported.
He added that an initial inspection indicated the explosion originated inside the vessel.
In a series of videos published to their Instagram, spokespeople for the flotilla said an "incendiary device" caused a fire onboard the vessel, which the crew was able to extinguish.
The BBC is omitting a crucial point here. There aren't only videos of spokespeople saying they were attacked. There is multiple videos from different angles, all showing the matching scene of something burning being dropped onto the ship, where it explodes.
It is literally on video and beyond any reasonable doubt, that the ship was attacked by an incendiary device being dropped onto it.

The videos are consistent with each other. The videos of the attack itself have matching time-stamps.
Either an update of the Tunisian government hasn't reached the western press yet, or the Tunisian government is doubling down on a lie in order to safe face in the wake of a direct attack on their sovereignty and their failure to identify and prevent the threat.
The picture on the bbc site is a still from the footage as well. You watch the burning object hit the deck, then they placed the image of it on the deck.. so they had to know the object came from above.
