Gaza aid convoy attackers say they are being tipped off by Israeli police: Report

Israeli soldiers and police have been tipping off Israeli settlers on the location of aid trucks travelling to the Gaza Strip so they can attack them and set up roadblocks, a spokesperson for one of the groups told The Guardian.

“When a policeman or soldier’s mission is supposed to protect Israelis and instead he is sent to protect humanitarian aid convoys - knowing it will end up in the hands of Hamas - we cannot blame them or civilians who notice the trucks passing by their towns for providing intel to groups trying to block that aid,” Rachel Touitou, a spokesperson for the far-right Israeli group Tzav 9, said.

“Yes, some of our intel comes from individual members of Israeli forces.”
