A group of Israeli peace activists travelled with a Gaza-bound humanitarian aid convoy in an effort to protect it from members of the far-right, an AFP correspondent reported.
Sunday’s aid convoy was comprised of about 30 trucks, and one was attacked by right-wingers.
Police removed one Israeli teenager from the scene after he threw some of the aid to the ground.
“The settlers managed to knock some of the aid off the truck, but because we got here quickly and because the police did their job, very little food was lost or damaged, and we can continue forward until the aid reaches Gaza,” said activist Suf Patishi, 32.
About 30 activists from Standing Together, a grassroots group, made the journey to the border.
“These aid trucks, each truck can be the one tool that saves the life of a five-year-old child,” said Oshra Bar, 36, another activist.
