The United States will impose sanctions on an Israeli group on Friday for attacking humanitarian aid convoys bound for starving civilians in Gaza, US officials told Reuters.
The sanctions will target Tsav 9, a group with ties to Israeli army reservists and Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, over activities including blocking, harassing and damaging aid shipments.
Palestinians have been desperately in need of aid as Israel continues its war on Gaza, which is now in its eighth month and has killed at least 37,000 people, according to the enclave's health ministry. Israel has also faced accusations of blocking aid, which it denies, and there have been protests against the delivery of aid at border crossings.
