The Israeli army said on Monday (9) that it detained a convoy of United Nations vehicles in the northern Gaza Strip because it has information indicating several “Palestinian suspects” in the vehicles and seeks to question them.
“We emphasize that this is not a convoy carrying polio vaccines, but a convoy whose purpose is to exchange UN personnel. The incident is not over yet,” an Israeli military spokesman said.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said he was aware “of an ongoing incident involving U.N. personnel and vehicles” and was working to establish the facts. He said the U.N.’s top priority “is the safety of our colleagues.”
