Israeli settlers attempt to block aid trucks bound for Gaza as Channel 14 correspondent defends obstruction —— Israeli settlers affiliated with the extremist Order 9 (Tzav 9) movement are trying to block the passage of trucks carrying humanitarian aid bound for the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom (Karam Abu Salem) crossing, obstructing desperately needed supplies from reaching the devastated, besieged enclave. Meanwhile, a correspondent for Israel's Channel 14, reporting from the crossing, criticized the planned entry of aid trucks into Gaza, claiming that the supplies would end up in the hands of Hamas. She also alleged that the trucks were carrying dual-use materials, using these claims to justify efforts to prevent their entry, even as Palestinians in Gaza continue to face severe humanitarian deprivation following years of Israeli bombardment, displacement, and restrictions on essential supplies.
