JAKARTA - Israelis staged demonstrations at the state border gates. They are trying to block humanitarian aid trucks for victims of conflicts entering the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
Citing Mirror.co.uk, Sunday, March 10, the demonstrators broke through the police line and ran in front of the truck blocking the convoy of aid carriers.
Even the demonstrators played loud electronic music and acted like they were watching a music concert shaking at the border gate.
In their demands, the demonstrators requested that 134 Israelis held hostage by Hamas be released by stopping aid trucks.
A number of demonstrators claimed aid trucks entering Gaza did not reach civilians and headed straight to Hamas.
While other protesters argue that the boxes contain weapons, not food.

The Israeli troop invasion of Gaza has killed 30,000 Palestinians. In its report, the United Nations said a quarter of Gaza's 2.3 million people were suffering from starvation.
The worst hunger occurred in northern Gaza, the territory isolated by Israeli forces and often cut off from food supplies.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health says so far at least 20 people have died from malnutrition and dehydration at Kamal Adwan and Shifa hospitals. Most of the victims who died were children.
Children who are vulnerable are also starting to experience hunger in the southern region, where access to aid is easier than in the north.
According to a survey by the Center for Public Opinion and Family Policy Research at the Israel Institute of Democracy, 68 percent of Israeli Jews oppose sending aid to Gaza under any circumstances.
Several videos posted on social media and recorded by international news media crew showed Israeli protesters of all ages, including children, at the border trying to stop the aid.
