Police detain two right-wing activists for attempting to block aid bound for Gaza

Police have detained two right-wing activists who tried to block humanitarian aid trucks that were en route to the Gaza Strip this morning, legal aid group Honenu claims.

The two were detained near the Kissufim crossing, according to a statement from Honenu, which is representing the detainees.

Footage from earlier today shows dozens of activists, holding Israeli flags, standing in front of aid trucks while singing “Am Yisrael Chai,” with police present at the scene.

It is unclear whether the two are still in custody. Police have not yet responded to a request for comment.
