IDF claims ‘armed assailants’ tried to hijack vehicle leading convoy of medical supplies, but aid organiser says those killed were transport company staff

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.

    things don’t mean what the the person who said the nintended. They only mean what I want them to be.

    Ah so it is all about circle jerking and empty virtue signaling for you. The apartheid has been going on close to 80 years at this point. Since before Biden was in high school let alone the Senate. If you want to prove that Biden was some evil Super Genius grade school kid. You’re going to need something more than a link to something that happened in 2022.

    Again. The United States government has always had it’s part in the responsibility for the partition of Palestine and supporting Israeli apartheid. And Biden for his time in the Senate and presidency does bear some responsibility as well. But it’s the institution of the Congress that is largely to blame for it. Not Biden. Despite University signaling and circle jerking. I at least believe you’re misguided but genuine. The people who are strategically doing this all have adjusted up their language to go after Harris now. To depress turnout for her so Trump will have a better chance of winning. Why either of you is still so obsessed over Biden who won’t even be in office in 4 months. But either way there’s no intelligent conversation with you. So blocked and by Felicia.
