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.

    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.
