Reports of violent clashes between protesters and security forces at Kerem Shalom Crossing

Protesters blocking the Kerem Shalom Crossing clashed with Israeli security forces who attempted to disperse the crowds, Hebrew media reports.

Right-wing activists on the scene allege that the soldiers punched or kicked several of them, and that one of the protesters required medical attention after a soldier slammed a rock into the back of his head.

The protests at Kerem Shalom aim to block the transfer of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip until all hostages held by Hamas are released from captivity.
