3 separate precision strikes, at different points along the "convoy's" route, including the final one made against a plain white jellybean car that was carrying wounded from the previous strikes. Either the IDF is killing aid workers intentionally to get the agencies to halt operations (most definitely), or they are killing Palestinians so indiscriminately that they can completely neglect, 3 separate times, to bother identifying who they are deploying precision munitions against (also very plausible). Important to note that both of those scenarios are war crimes.

Multiple accidental precision strikes, maybe?

I condemn their actions but I also understand why they were inevitable.

Click here to see the summaryA deadly Israeli attack that killed seven aid workers from the non-profit World Central Kitchen (WCK) in Gaza on Monday appears to have consisted of multiple precision strikes, a CNN analysis of aftermath videos and images found.

WCK said in a statement Tuesday that its team was traveling in a “deconflicted zone” in two armored cars and one unarmored vehicle, after dropping off more than 100 tons of food supplies at a warehouse in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, when the attack occurred.

CNN geolocated video and imagery of all three destroyed vehicles, at least one of which was clearly marked with a WCK logo on its roof, to two positions on the strip’s Al Rashid coastal road, and a third location on an off-road area of open ground nearby.

In a rare admission of fault, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel took responsibility for the attack, saying Israeli forces had “unintentionally struck innocent people in the Gaza Strip.”

Cobb-Smith, a former British Army artillery officer and munitions expert, said the heavy damage to the three vehicles was consistent with the use of “highly accurate drone fired missiles,” adding it was “hard to believe” the tragic incident was an accident.

The report adds that though neither the armed man nor the truck he was traveling on left the warehouse, “the war room of the unit responsible for security of the route ordered the drone operators to attack one of the cars with a missile,” according to Haaretz’s defense sources.
