#6 I was considering, since it appears to be superficial damage, it was self inflicted to gin up a story.

But Skid's comment and this tidbit:

The drone attack happened as the ship waited to board an international group of activists just outside Malta’s waters, causing a loss of power and communications, Freedom Flotilla said on Friday.

I wonder if the story may not have been what is on board, but who.
