A truck marked to be transporting humanitarian aid to Gaza was stopped at the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Israel, ironically, the area where Gilad Shalit was taken captive in June 2006 cross-border attack.

The truck was carrying IDF uniforms, which security authorities believe were on their way to Hamas.

Activists working towards obtaining Shalit’s release continue to decry the government’s policy of permitting goods to flow into Gaza while the soldier remains prisoner, without visitation, with Hamas unwilling to discuss his release.
