KEREM SHALOM, ISRAEL -- MARCH 7, 2024: Israeli security forces prevent protesters from Tsav 9, or known as Order 9 movement, from crossing the border checkpoint with the goal of blocking aid shipments from getting into the Gaza, in Kerem Shalom, Israel, Thursday, March 7, 2024. The protests to halt aid delivery into Gaza were started by religious Zionists, but now draw many secular participants. Protesters argue that that no humanitarian assistance should pass through until Hamas releases all of the captives it is holding inside Gaza. Israeli military has since declared the area around the Kerem Shalom border crossing a closed military zone. (MARCUS YAM / LOS ANGELES TIMES)
