Far-right activists stopped multiple trucks in the West Bank, unloaded cargo, deflated their tires and set them on fire. The Israel Police arrived at the scene and arrested no suspects
Footage from the scene indicates that the activists stopped both trucks on Wednesday near the Givat Asaf settlement, unloaded their cargo, deflated their tires, and set them on fire on the road.
The attacked trucks were used for commercial purposes and not for delivering aid, and they were not heading to the Gaza Strip. The Israel Police arrived at the scene a while after the attack and did not arrest any suspects involved in the incident. The driver was taken to a hospital.
In one of the videos, the truck driver is seen rolling on the floor injured, while soldiers, including an IDF officer with the rank of captain, pass by his side. One of the right-wing activists can be heard saying, "This is what happens to those who bring food to Hamas."
In another published footage, taken some time after the attack, teenagers are seen dancing on one of the trucks and chanting "The eternal nation is not afraid of a long journey." Next to the truck lay scattered cargo that was carried, and the activists removed from it, while Israel Border Police officers who arrived at the scene stand nearby.
According to a security source, right-wing activists also arrived on Wednesday at the Tarqumiya crossing in the West Bank and demanded that truck drivers present them with their shipping documents to verify if they were heading to the Gaza Strip.
In groups on social networks, they called on protesters to block junctions in the West Bank and in Israel where they believed trucks carrying aid to Gaza were passing, and in the evening hours, calls were also made to block Highway 60, where the attacked trucks had passed..
