The activist group Tzav 9 has announced it will immediately resume its campaign to block humanitarian aid trucks from entering the Gaza Strip. The hardline movement cites alleged "Hamas violations" of the existing ceasefire and hostage release framework, specifically pointing to the failure to return the bodies of all deceased Israeli captives.
In a dramatic re-emergence after a period of relative inactivity, Tzav 9 released a statement explicitly tying the flow of essential goods into the besieged territory to the full repatriation of remains.
"As long as there is no agreement, continuing to transfer aid to the terror group is forbidden," the group declared. "The aid allows it to rehabilitate without any compensation and without the return of the dead. No aid will be transferred until the last of the dead is returned."
