“a week after setting off from Algeria”
SINGLE SOURCE
One specific web search result ('Flotilla Soumoud 2') explicitly mentions that 'Soumoud Convoy 2' departs from Algeria. However, the provided evidence does not contain a specific date or a confirmation of a 'one week' timeline relative to May 16, 2026, to corroborate the timing aspect of the claim. Only the origin (Algeria) for 'Soumoud 2' is corroborated by a single source.
