The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have detained a United Nations (UN) humanitarian convoy in the northern Gaza Strip after receiving intelligence that two Palestinian suspects had infiltrated the convoy. The incident occurred in the Netzarim corridor, a route where UN vehicles typically pass without inspection. The suspects have barricaded themselves within the convoy, refusing to exit for questioning. Initial reports suggested the convoy was carrying polio vaccines, but it was later clarified that the convoy was being used for personnel transport. The situation remains ongoing as additional IDF forces have been called to the scene.
