Jordan has said Israeli settlers attacked a Gaza-bound aid convoy in the second such incident in days, accusing Israel of failing to act firmly to prevent repeated assaults, Reuters reports.

The convoy, carrying 30 trucks of humanitarian aid, was delayed in its arrival in a violation of signed agreements, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani told Reuters.

“This requires a serious Israeli intervention and no leniency in dealing with those who obstruct these convoys,” Momani said.
