Jordan says Israelis attacked a Gaza-bound aid convoy today in the second such incident in days, and accuses Israel of failing to act firmly to prevent assaults.

The convoy, carrying 30 trucks of humanitarian aid, was delayed in its arrival in a violation of signed agreements, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani tells Reuters.

“This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys,” Momani says.

Earlier this week, Momani had said that several aid trucks were forced to turn back to Jordan on Sunday after being accosted in Israel.
