Israeli activists battle over Gaza-bound aid convoys

The war in Gaza has extended to the battle over aid convoys. Israeli activists are now fighting over the delivery of aid to Gaza. The conflict has escalated to various locations, where rival groups of activists are attempting to block or protect the aid convoys. Right-wing activists, including Jewish settlers, have been actively involved in preventing the aid from reaching Gaza. They have been seen throwing food onto the ground and stamping on boxes of aid. Their argument is that Gazans should not receive any aid until Israeli hostages are released. There have been instances of Israeli vigilantes stopping lorries in Jerusalem and demanding that drivers prove they are not transporting aid to Gaza. Palestinian lorry drivers have expressed their fear of reaching the crossing point due to the traumatic attacks they have faced. In response to these attacks, peace activists have taken to tracking their opponents’ movements on social media and ensuring their presence at key crossing points to protect the aid convoys and ensure that aid reaches Gaza.
