Israeli extremists injure Israeli soldiers in latest Gaza aid truck violence
Israel’s military said three soldiers were “slightly injured” in a confrontation with dozens of Israelis who had set fire to a truck and injured its driver in the vicinity of the Kochav Hashahar Israeli settlement, east of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
The attack on the truck and soldiers appeared to be the latest incident of violence by Israeli extremists who have ambushed several trucks transporting humanitarian aid supplies destined for the people of war-torn Gaza.
According to the military, soldiers “arrived on the scene, and acted to separate the Israeli citizens from the driver and provide the driver with medical treatment”.
“Dozens of Israeli citizens reacted violently towards the force. As a result, two [military] officers and another soldier were slightly injured and treated on the spot,” the military said. Though the military condemned the violence, and said it would respond “to the fullest extent of the law”, it did not mention any arrests of attackers or suspects.
