Seven aid workers were killed when their convoy was hit by an Israeli airstrike overnight, as it was leaving their Deir al-Balah warehouse, amid ongoing operations delivering aid supplies inside Gaza.

The food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) said they had coordinated the convoy’s movements with the Israel Defense Forces.

In response to the strike, the IDF stated that it “is conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.” 

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday the aid workers were killed in an “unintended strike.”

The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region.

I find it extremely hard to believe they didn't know who was in that vehicle.

The same day, they hit a group in Syria containing high-level Iranian generals. The US didn't even know about it.

It's been widely reported that World Central Kitchen had been coordinating movements with the IDF. They , the IDF, knew who was in those vehicles.

I always prefer to apply Hanlon's razor ( Never attribute to malice what can be explained with incompetence ) but shits been looking malicious for a long time now

Looking forward to tomorrow when the IDF claims that the World Central Kitchen staff were Hamas terrorists.

Who knew that every single person inside Gaza's borders was a Hamas terrorist?

Plot twist. Hamas terrorists hacked into IDF infrastructure and dropped the bombs on themselves to make the IDF look bad.

Either that or they’ll find that elements of the IDF are Hamas.

Hanlon’s razor is reversed for sociopaths.

Precision Guided Missles.

Troops need to point a laser at the target before firing. They knew what they were doing.

I wonder if this halts the food aid going into Gaza as this gets investigated?

The point is to kill by hunger. It's as open a war crime as you can get.
