The Israeli-Swedish activist Dror Feiler said that  one of the Flotilla III ships was exposed to sabotage of its propeller.

Dror Feiler who is taking part in the Flotilla III which seeks to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip told an Israeli Arab radio station on Thursday that somebody sought to sabotage one of the ships before it set sail toward the blockaded Gaza Strip hinting that Israel was behind the act.

Dror Feiler, a pro-Palestinian activist who renounced his Israeli citizenship 33-years-ago and now resides in Sweden, told Radio al-Shams that while one of the ships was at port in Greece, an unidentified individual tried to damage one of the vessel’s propellers.

“We don’t know who it is, but that person went deep underwater and sabotaged the propeller, so we had to find a different boat, Feiler said”.

“There are dark forces that keep trying to stop us all along the way,” he added.

The activist told the radio station that flotilla participants were wary of being prevented from setting sail to Gaza, which is why they spent as little time in Greece as possible.

According to Anadolu Agency, Feiler also told al-Shams that Flotilla III is currently at sea near Crete, and that the sailing is delayed until Friday.
