Last month, several Israeli army reservists crossed into the Gaza Strip and assaulted Palestinian truck drivers working for international aid agencies.

These drivers had been vetted by Israel’s Shin Bet security service, which confirmed they were neither Hamas members nor suspected of terrorism. Although the IDF has footage of the incident, no one involved has been prosecuted or summoned for questioning so far.

The incident happened after reservists from the Magen unit, stationed on the Israeli side of the Gaza border, were requested to help with aid transfers at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Some reservists, uncomfortable with the mission, chose to harm the truck drivers in protest.

      Thanks. I hadn’t seen reporting on it yet. Often these articles are published in delay to the event because it takes time to write and confirm the facts.
