Members of Tzav 9, an Israeli extremist group, vandalized several trucks in the convoy, ripping and throwing supplies onto the pavement.
Dozens of protesters from Tzav 9, a far-right Israeli extremist group, vandalized several humanitarian aid trucks bound for Gaza in the southern West Bank on Monday, according to local reports and videos circulating on social media.The incident, which unfolded near the Tarqumiya checkpoint near the occupied city of Hebron, was captured in multiple social media videos and later verified by Israeli reporter Hod Barel of Tel Aviv-based GLZ Radio, one of the country's largest stations.
The movement, inspired by Tsav-8 — an order issued by the Israeli army to mobilize reservists during emergencies — started when a call was posted on Facebook by Israeli citizens who were outraged by the shipment of humanitarian aid to Gaza, where Israeli hostages are still being held. The group believes that at least 70 percent of the humanitarian aid into Gaza is being diverted to Hamas, which controlled the enclave before the war.
