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.
IDF should rename
Israel Occupation Forces is becoming popular on social media.
They only need to scooch that ‘D’ in the acronym over three letters, and I think they’ll have something.
No they should have two new branch of force so it become :
Israel Colonising Force for West Bank
Israel Defence Force to defend Israel
Israel Extermination Force for Gaza
