An indictment was filed Tuesday against Reut Ben Haim, a prominent activist who has led protests blocking humanitarian aid trucks destined for Gaza. According to reports cited by Amit Segal (N12), Ben Haim is charged with "causing a disturbance without reasonable cause" over her role in the blockades. The activist has been a central figure in a grassroots campaign that has repeatedly delayed or halted aid convoys at the Kerem Shalom crossing and other points of entry since the war began. The development marks a legal escalation against the protest movement, shifting from police dispersal and brief detentions to a formal criminal charge. No further details on the indictment or a court date were immediately available.
