Gaza Border Residents Block Aid Trucks in Protest of International Force

Dozens of Gaza-border residents and activists from Tzav 9 and the Otef Israel Forum blocked a road at the Kerem Shalom Crossing on Tuesday, temporarily preventing humanitarian-aid trucks from passing. The demonstrators then continued outside the International Stabilization Force base, opposing foreign-force entry and Gaza reconstruction before Hamas is disarmed and the enclave is demilitarized. Tzav 9 chairwoman Reut Ben Haim said foreign forces would tie the IDF’s hands. Nahal Oz spokesman Danny Rahamim said southern communities would not accept continued Hamas rule in Gaza.
