Protesters block convoy, throw food into road and set fire to vehicles at Tarqumiya checkpoint near Hebron

The White House has condemned an attack on an aid convoy heading to Gaza by Israeli settlers who threw packages of food into the road and set fire to the vehicles.

Video of the incident on Monday at Tarqumiya checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, showed settlers blocking the trucks and throwing boxes of much-needed supplies on the ground. Photographs from the scene showed piles of damaged aid packages and drifts of rice and flour across the road.

Late on Monday, photos began circulating on social media showing the trucks on fire.

    Two countries at war, both of which commit war crimes against humanity. This can only be stopped diplomatically or when one side stops existing. Just another waste of human lives and resources. People are stupid.

      They ain’t a war. A war implies that it’s somewhat balanced. Israel don’t want a diplomatic solution.

      Hamas offered a deal to return all hostages but Israel said no as they would still be in power. So they just want to keep murdering people to make sure Hamas has recruits for decades to come.

      Fuck this world man.
