A dual U.S.-Canadian citizen was among seven food aid workers killed in an Israeli military strike on a humanitarian convoy in Gaza, the World Central Kitchen said Tuesday.
Haaretz reported that the convoy of vehicles, which had coordinated its route through a demilitarized zone with the Israel Defense Forces, was hit three times in succession until the aid workers were all killed. After the first strike, survivors reportedly sought shelter in the other vehicles which were then targeted.
The attack late Monday, which the IDF says is being investigated, struck as the vehicles were leaving a warehouse in central Gaza, WCK said in a statement. The food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés said its other staff members killed in the strike were from Australia, the United Kingdom, and Poland. https://www.yahoo.com/news/world-central-kitchen-says-u-113228149.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAKeUX_qtmh8WrqxlnZZ-8IeDB11-Im7BNda1xrkK17LwOqVyhyQVVw5DF4wnfqqceDF6ouxMNRdZemBFpSV9isQii5ijcQF5NZgob9g6tUk51_czR_YEobLx7TnKEilyCigwvTqEYxRfHtD5ByUD35UdlM9CIIWX8ADhLSnnO-njNo

(35,581 posts)The initial report I saw included the US citizen, the triple hits, and the advance coordination of the food delivery.

(14,769 posts)This report indicates that the attack was planned and that plan included multiple strikes to insure everyone was killed.
It leaves no space for accident.

(35,581 posts)was that the IDF believed a terrorist was in the group and it was deliberately targeting the terrorist (who was not actually on board). I hadn't heard a suggestion it was an accident.

(9,305 posts)They were coordinating with IDF - while in their vehicles they told reporters they couldnt leave till they got the green light from IDF. This video speaks about 4 being killed - its now 7.

Why did the truck burn up? The first pic shows the rocket hole, but the truck is intact. Where are the other vehicles?

The pictures and video are irrefutable, the "crime scene" has been tampered with, what are they trying to hide?
