IDF says troops stopped UN convoy to check for unauthorized Gazan passengers

The military says that earlier today, troops stopped a United Nations convoy in the northern Gaza Strip for questioning, after receiving intelligence that several unauthorized Palestinian suspects had snuck into one of the vehicles.
“IDF troops delayed the convoy in order to question the suspects,” the military says, adding that the incident has not yet concluded.
The IDF says that the convoy was not transporting Polio vaccines, as some reports claimed, but rather, it was for UN workers switching personnel in the area.
