US sanctions Israeli man who it appears to have confused with extremist settler
In an apparent case of mistaken identity, the Kan public broadcaster reports that an Israeli blacklisted in the latest batch of US sanctions is not the settler leader that the Treasury Department accuses of interfering with aid shipments to Gaza.
Among the co-heads the Tzav 9 group that the US named today was Aviad Shlomo Sarid. While one of the group’s leaders is named Aviad Sarid, the Aviad Shlomo Sarid sanctioned by the US is a different person who is not linked to Tzav 9.
