Israeli Truck Driver Blocks Several Kilometre Long Gaza-Bound Aid Convoy
h/t Gates of ViennaAn Israeli truck driver, fed up at near-incessant Hamas rocket fire into Israel, took matters into his own hands on Sunday and used his truck to block an aid convoy from entering the coastal enclave, Israel's Channel 2 reported. Israel's Civil Authority (COGAT) has continued to allow hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid in, in order to alleviate daily conditions for the strip's 1.6 million residents inhabiting the 139 square mile area. But on Sunday, Kerem Shalom resident and married dad, Daniel Meteri, 27, snapped. He'd had enough of the hundreds of rockets in the sixth day of Operation Protective Edge, and the thousands before then, and for three hours refused to move his vehicle parked across the two-lane road leading to the crossing point, at the southern end of the Strip. His wildcat strike halted a several-kilometer-long line of trucks carrying goods to the Palestinians. Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2014-07-15 |
