Far-left activists block entrance to IDF logistics route on Gaza border

Far-left activists are protesting on the border with the Gaza Strip, blocking an entrance leading to an army logistics route.

The protesters are holding signs reading “Stop the genocide in Gaza,” “Stop Zionist terrorism,” and “Free Palestine.”

Soldiers in the area claim that the protests are preventing logistics supplies from entering Gaza and troops from leaving the Strip.

In response to a query by The Times of Israel, the IDF says some 30 civilians reached the Gaza border barrier — built inside Israeli territory — near the southern community of Sufa, an area that is a closed military zone.

“Police and IDF forces in the area prevented the civilians from entering the Strip’s territory,” the army says, adding that it “emphasizes that any entry into a closed military area is prohibited and approaching the barrier area is dangerous and interferes with the activities of the security forces in the area.”
