In reply to the discussion: Chef Jose Andres says Israel targeted his aid workers 'systematically, car by car' [View all]SunSeeker
(58,147 posts)Israel is in fact working with aid organizations to get aid through, and was in fact coordinating deliveries specifically with WCK. Those 3 vehicles had just delivered aid and were on their way back, unloaded of aid, when they were hit.
Israels military chief, Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi, said a preliminary investigation indicated "it was a mistake that followed a misidentification at night during a war in very complex conditions. It shouldnt have happened. He said an independent body would complete a thorough investigation in the coming days. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-news-04-03-2024-3e379f56a6153c347179e3e99823c407
Israel is not intentionally targeting aid workers. The strike on the 3 WCK vehicles happened at night, so their roof insignia was not evident like it would have been during the day. Apparently lower level IDF soldiers conducted the strike without properly confirming the vehicles' identity with superiors.
If Israel wanted to stop aid shipments, why are they talking with WCK right now trying to get them to resume their operations in Gaza?
