Dozens of activists, including families of hostages and terror victims, blocked aid trucks entering Gaza at the Nitzana Crossing this morning (Thursday).
Police and Border Police officers attempted to evacuate the protestors from the scene. Protestors chanted: "No aid will pass until the last of the hostages returns."
One of the protesters is Noga Alfasi, niece of Mia Goren, a preschool teacher in Nir Oz who was kidnapped and murdered in captivity. Goren's body is still being held by Hamas. Alfasi could be seen being carried away by police officers in footage from the protest.
Before the protest, Alfasi said: "I'm waiting for you to come and help us awaken the country, because apparently, people don't understand that if we don't handle this war properly, there won't be a single person here in the country who will be safe from the strengthening of terrorist organizations, and God forbid a massacre in the years to come."
Also participating in the protest was Arnon Adani, whose son was stabbed in a terrorist attack in Gan Yavne last week. "To everyone, it seems far away and it won't reach us, but everyone must get here and do a little bit. If the parents of wounded children can, then anyone can start the car and get there," Ardani said.
Tzav 9 movement stated, "With the breaking of the terrible record of bringing in hundreds of supply trucks to the terrorist organization Hamas without anything in return, the Tzav 9 movement will once again block the convoys of death trucks for the Nukhba terrorists."
"This is a fateful hour for the existence of this nation. If we continue to sit at home - we will lose the whole campaign. Secular and religious, from the right and the left, the residents of the city, the kibbutz and the village - this is the time to stand up and take action, for the hostages and for the soldiers. No aid goes through until the last of the kidnapped returns," the movement added.
