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.
Oopsie. I committed another war crime. Ssssssoooooorrrrryyyy

By “unintended,” he means that he did not intend for people to realize it was a precision strike.
I figure he means they didn’t know this convoy had western passport holders. They thought they were just blowing up more Palestinian aid workers.
I don’t even think he means that. As the article says, they notified the IDF of their movements.
Off the top of my head this is the fourth time they’ve hit a convoy that coordinated it’s movements. Not including blowing up the bakery that just had a delivery and firing at the crowd trying to get food. And that’s just what I’m aware of. This is also the most dangerous war for aid workers in the modern period.

I wonder if this halts the food aid going into Gaza as this gets investigated?
Yes, which was the goal.

The point is to kill by hunger. It’s as open a war crime as you can get.
This israeli terror airstrike was a massive success. World Food Kitchen and others stopped aid workers from delivering food to Gaza at a time Palestinians are already starving to death. The only thing that would have negative impact on israel is if Biden undertook action.
But and as expected Genocide Joe is covering for israel so they are getting away with it.
Biden ‘outraged’ by aid workers killed, but no indication Israeli strike deliberate
Exactly and I can’t figure out if people are just too stupid or too entrenched in propaganda. Of course there will be news of it being a “mistake”. Or 3 mistakes. And nothing will change. Resolutions will be passed. Statements will be issued. Thoughts and prayers. Nothing will change for Israel, the US will continue supplying death machines to these evil people. But now less aid goes to those they deem inhuman.
It was a precision strike in more ways than one. People who can’t realize it was no mistake at all, baffle the mind.
Geeze, this is the first time I’ve heard from these guys seince the escalation of the genocide. Have they been doing work through this crises?
They got a makeshift pier built and delivered a ton of aid by ship. All coordinated with Israel. This was one of their first convoys out of that warehouse. (Also coordinated with Israel)
Im refering to bellingcat
Oh okay
They’ve been everywhere, from Syria to Ukraine.
Didn’t they say the same thing about Al Asqa Hospital?
