Jerusalem ( CNN ) -- Israel has attempted to deliver humanitarian aid from an international flotilla to Gaza , but Hamas -- which controls the territory -- has refused to accept the cargo , the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday . Palestinian sources confirmed that trucks that arrived from Israel at the Rafah terminal at the Israel-Gaza border were barred from delivering the aid . Ra'ed Fatooh , in charge of the crossings , and Jamal Khudari , head of a committee against the Gaza blockade , said Israel must release all flotilla detainees and that it will be accepted in the territory only by the Free Gaza Movement people who organized the flotilla . Israel said it had 20 trucks of aid found on the ships , such as expired medications , clothing , blankets , some medical equipment and toys . Israel has released all foreign flotilla detainees by Wednesday , but four Israeli Arabs remain in custody . Nine people died Monday when Israel intercepted an aid vessel bound for Gaza . Under Israeli policy , humanitarian aid must come through Israel and be checked by Israeli authorities who are looking to intercept smuggled weapons bound for militants aiming to attack Israel . As part of this policy Israel forbids ships from dropping off goods at Gaza ports and works to thwart smuggling via tunnels between Gaza and Egypt .
Trucks of flotilla aid halted stopped at Gaza crossing . Clothing , medical material , blankets on trucks . Israel says it will not allow any more ships to enter the blockaded territory and has warned that if they do so there would be a response.
