Ammon News - The US has imposed sanctions on an Israeli group it says has been attacking humanitarian aid convoys heading to Gaza.
The state department said the US assets of Tzav 9 - an organisation with ties to Israeli reservists and West Bank settlers - will be frozen and Americans will be barred from dealing with it.
For several months Israeli activists have been preventing aid convoys destined for Palestinians in the Gaza strip.
On 13 May protesters were filmed attacking two trucks in the occupied West Bank, ripping bags of grain open. The vehicles were set on fire. The White House described the "looting" of aid convoys as "a total outrage".
