The escorting soldiers reportedly did not protect the convoy and are alleged to have facilitated further aggression against the people who had been trying to transport aid, when they tried to return for their own belongings.

Ty, I did see footage of this attack and there were IDF soldiers and they stood by and did nothing to stop the destruction. More disturbing was the fact that the convoy had an IDF truck front and back and it looked from the footage that plus an additional IDF truck- a pop up checkpoint- was blocking the humanitarian trucks in place where the settlers were attacking so the drivers couldn’t keep driving. All IDF had to do was not block the trucks so they could drive on…they wouldn’t have had to do anything to the settlers.

The treatment is so different too compared to the flour massacres in Gaza. Palestinians coming to get aid deliveries were gunned down by IDF as suspected of intending to loot the aid.

Settlers who are actively looting and destroying aid and IDF doesn’t do anything except make it very easy for the settlers.
