IDF says bag of ammo discovered in coordinated internal aid convoy in Gaza

The IDF says it discovered a bag of ammunition on a coordinated internal aid convoy in the Gaza Strip yesterday.

The convoy, between northern and southern Gaza, had been coordinated with the international community and was being monitored by the IDF, the military says.

The IDF says it detected unusual movement during the passage of the convoy along a designated route, and it was halted for inspection.

“During the inspection, IDF troops discovered a bag containing ammunition for firearms,” the military says.

The IDF says that some members of the convoy were detained and taken for further questioning, and “inquiries were also made with the relevant organization.”

“It is important to note that this was an internal convoy traveling inside the Gaza Strip from the north to the south, and not through the crossings designated for bringing humanitarian aid into Gaza,” the IDF adds.
