The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they carried out an airstrike on a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza aimed at “armed assailants” trying to hijack it but the charity that organised the aid said people killed in the strike were employees of the transport company it was working with.
The convoy, organised by the US-based NGO Anera, was carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah on Thursday evening at the time of the attack. Its route had been coordinated in advance with the IDF, under a deconfliction process intended to prevent aid vehicles being bombed.
Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, said: “This is a shocking incident. The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed.
The stupidest part for me is Israel’s explanation. The trucks were under attack from terrorists so we bombed the trucks.
“The trucks were hijacked by terrorists so we bombed the terrorists.”
Fixed it for you
so in a possible hostage situation as far as IDF claims (the hijacking), you bomb the bad guy with hostages? got it
You are talking about a nation who’s current president was accidentally shot by IDF friendly fire, while he was personally storming a hijacked airplane to rescue 60 hostages from palestinian terrorists.
So yeah they are going to take the bad guys out, even if some of the good guys get hurt.
Down voted for telling the truth. Typical…
well at least the comment has not been removed by a mod yet
