Six Israelis arrested for attacking, damaging aid convoy heading to Gaza
Police say six people were arrested after dozens tried to block an aid convoy that was heading to the Gaza Strip.
The demonstrators blocked roads between the West Bank settlement of Ma’ale Adumim and the entrance to Jerusalem in a bid to stop the convoy, apparently coming from Jordan.
Police say several trucks and their contents were damaged.
The incident marks the second time a convoy has been attacked since Israel opened the Erez crossing in northern Gaza to aid deliveries last week.
