Dozens of protesters from Tzav 9, a far-right Israeli extremist group, vandalized several humanitarian aid trucks bound for Gaza in the southern West Bank on Monday, according to local reports and videos circulating on social media.

The incident, which unfolded near the Tarqumiya checkpoint near the occupied city of Hebron, was captured in multiple social media videos and later verified by Israeli reporter Hod Barel of Tel Aviv-based GLZ Radio, one of the country's largest stations.

The group, known for its aggressive opposition to Gazan aid deliveries, took advantage of a moment of silence marking Israel's Memorial Day to blockade the highway and damage the convoy of aid trucks.
