Video clips circulating on social media platforms showed Israeli settlers once again intercepting trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, demanding that it be delivered only in exchange for the release of detainees held by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
The clips documented the process of stealing humanitarian aid trucks and stopping them by settlers, especially aid trucks coming from Jordan through the Erez crossing, and them stealing and destroying them.
The scenes of settlers stealing relief trucks sparked a state of anger among social media users, stressing that what these settlers did would plunge Gaza once again into a disaster due to the major shortage of food supplies and aid, especially with the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings no longer working.
Attacks by “Israeli civilians” on aid trucks coming from Jordan and their destruction are still continuing. Gaza is once again approaching a major catastrophe due to the lack of aid and food supplies.

These repeated behaviors of Israeli settlers aroused the dissatisfaction of many social media users, as some of them wondered when such actions would be responded to.
For the millionth time
Settlers destroy aid heading from Jordan to Gaza….
Where is the Jordanian government??
Isn’t it time to respond to the Zionist enemy’s violations???
Isn’t it time to stop the land bridge and cancel peace treaties and agreements???— Ensherah SandoqaOctober7 (@EnsherahSandoqa) May 13, 2024
It is noteworthy that the Israeli army stormed the Rafah crossing a few days ago to tighten its heavy grip on the Gaza Strip, isolating it completely from the outside world, depriving the sick and wounded of traveling for treatment, and preventing the flow of humanitarian aid trucks. This would exacerbate the deteriorating humanitarian situation as a result of the aggression that has been ongoing for 7 months.
Local and international bodies saw the occupation of the Rafah crossing and the closure of the only commercial crossing of Kerem Shalom with Gaza as a deepening of the humanitarian and health disasters that the small coastal strip has suffered since the outbreak of the Israeli war following the attack of last October 7.
Earlier, Anadolu Agency quoted Hisham Adwan, spokesman for the Gaza Strip Crossings Authority, as saying that the occupation forces are closing the Kerem Shalom commercial crossing to the movement of aid into the Gaza Strip, and that the Israeli forces are still inside the Rafah land crossing and controlling it, which has led to the cessation of travel. The entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip.
