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.

      Because the Christians love it. They get to move the clock forward on their rapture and see Muslims die. They consider it a fantastic thing. Because they’re monsters.

            The founding father and first president of Palestine, Raj Amin Al-Huseni, was a member of the richest land owning family in palestine, a family who earned it’s wealth by being given the throne of jerusalem in a wedding present when the patriarch of the al-huseni clan, Husayn ibn Ali married the profit Muhammad’s daughter Fatima.

            The profit Muhammad owned the throne of Jerusalem after migrating from the Arabian Penninsula and conquering it from the natives.

            Oh, Raj is a title. It comes from the Sanskrit word ‘raja,’ which means ‘prince.’

            Raj Amin Al-Huseni was an islamic royalist, and next in line to inherit the kingdom of jersuem to rule as a king.

            You are talking about a nation who’s current president was accidentally shot by IDF friendly fire, while he was personally storming a hijacked airplane to rescue 60 hostages from palestinian terrorists.

            So yeah they are going to take the bad guys out, even if some of the good guys get hurt.

      Because the US uses its Security Council veto to prevent the UN from taking action.

      And Palestine isn’t in NATO.

      What other international organization could intervene? The Arab League? The last time Arab countries fought a war against Israel to try to liberate Palestine, they lost. (And remember, Israel has nuclear weapons now, while no Arab country does.)

    IOF Source: Trust me bro

    The last time they claimed this was because the convoy had armed protection and to the IOF any presumed Palestinian with a gun is a terrorist. Investigated themselves and found no wrong doing. US agrees and sends more bombs and congratulates the apartheid state for defending itself from aid workers trying to stop the genocide.

        I guess the comment has an issue with the “fatal” in the headline, because the staff are unharmed.

        Which I find weird that they are more concern with wording than the act of aurstriking.
