International troops, under Israeli command, halt a UN-led transport in Gaza.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) held up a convoy due to intel suggesting several potential Palestinian suspects were aboard, as per their statement. The convoy wasn't associated with the polio vaccine delivery but was actually used for personnel swaps between the UN, they claimed. This situation is still unfolding, the IDF mentioned.
UN representative Stephane Dujarric acknowledged the occurrence of an ongoing event affecting UN personnel and vehicles. He's actively working to uncover the details of this incident, Reuters news outlet revealed.
The UN is trying to navigate this complex situation in the Middle East, as the convoy involved in the incident is regional in nature. The UN is also concerned about the potential impact on their global operations, including in the world at large.
