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 understand that sentiment, but there are people in Israel just as appalled as you and I. It is the % of the people who support and their delusion leadership that we need to call out not the entire nation. Plus, those same types of people live in every nation and need to be called out. War mongers are everywhere. Time to evolve beyond such barbaric violence.

      Using the name of the country like that usually refers to its government, not its people

        It used too, but the CCP has done a banger of a job making any criticism of China to mean the Chinese people so it is good to ensure we separate the two going forward.
