Three missiles hit three vehicles directly that were spaced hundreds of meters apart. Nothing on purpose about that, nope, not at all.
Israel claims it was unintentional.
This is the fourth clearly marked and coordinated aid convoy that I can recall getting hit just from news stories.
The only thing unintentional about this was killing passport holders from western countries. This is a clear pattern of targeting aid convoys.
Getting called out for it was unintentional.
was killing passport holders from western countries
I think that was intentional too, it’s aimed at scaring the volunteers.
I bet that was intentional as well. Their strategy is to starve Gaza, and after these killings all international aid agencies are pulling out. No food will be going in. It’s the same with their targeting of reporters and their families: they don’t want information to come out either.
Intentional or blatantly incompetent, it’s quite clear that Israel is using the same playbook as Putin when he strikes civilians in Ukraine.
Israel is way worse than Putin: all it takes is looking at the numbers of civilian deaths in merelly the first month of the Israelli attack on Gaza compared to the whole of the Invasion of Ukraine.
Not excusing Putin by the way, just pointing out how much more extreme Israel is in the Fascist scales.
You get the impression that Putin has no care at all about human life, but he is not driven by extreme racism, whilst Israel most definitelly is driven by extreme racism and hence they’re activelly trying to exterminate an entire etnic group whom they call “human animals” which is why we keep on seeing from them all varieties of barbarous acts, not just bombings with massive “building” (500lb) and “residential block” (2000lb) wipping bombs and targetting humanitarian vehicles like this but even the use white posphurous against civilians and snipping of childrem.
Next to them Putin is merely a Fascist whilst Israel are full-on Nazis.
I must object to one point. Putin is absolutely driven by extreme racism. His right-hand man is Aleksandr Dugin after all. Putin would have no problem committing genocide. The only difference is that Ukrainians are a closer peer-enemy and can actually defend themselves from Russian barbarism. They actually have room to move civilians away from concentrated areas.
It seems IDF has a serious drug induced psychosis. Hamas everywhere!!!
Yea the biggest hallmark of an idf strike I’ve seen from this conflict.
Isreal immediatly denying it was them.
Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there’s little they can deny…
Bellingcat is funded by the NED (National Endowment for Democracy) so a CIA front admitting to the assassination is interesting.
Conflating Bellingcat with the CIA is a hilariously bad take.
“Last year marked the final year of project funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) that provided funding for Russian-language workshops at no cost to journalists and human rights researchers based in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia and the Caucasus. We continued our project for the Swedish Postcode Lottery (SPL), which among others supported free trainings on ideological extremism for organisations in Europe.”
You seem to be misinformed. Also, provide proof that the NED is CIA, because that is quite a claim!
That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:
The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that the CCP actually knows what they’re talking about on this issue
Yep, look at all the democracy the state department is supporting right now in Pakistan.
The NED is not the CIA (and the degree of inter-agency cooperation is likely not much greater than that between the CIA and NSA), but it serves the same purpose as an arm of the US intelligence apparatus. This is indisputable, as admitted directly by the founder of the NED.
IIRC with the pending fall of the Soviet Union (the primary counterweight to US influence) the US no longer saw a need for covertly influencing governments.
Holy shit CPC actually understands the reality. Too based and XiPilled.

Well they’re correct
Precision Murder
Let’s please call it what it is.
Israel has been touting the WCK as an alternative to UNRWA. This actually hurts their image. If this is indeed a precision strike, I wonder if there are competing factions within the Israeli military, with diverging agendas…
Nah, the IDF just wants to starve children to death. Killing aid workers is a bonus to them.
The fact that this nazi state has nukes should terrify us all
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) said they had coordinated the convoy’s movements with the Israel Defense Forces.
In response to the strike, the IDF stated that it “is conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.”
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday the aid workers were killed in an “unintended strike.”The destroyed vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike, which only the IDF has the capability to conduct in the region.
The WCK said: “the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route.”
Although not possible to be certain without fragments of the munition itself, the WCK vehicles bear the hallmarks of a precision strike by inert or low-yield missiles.
Some, called “electro-optically guided” are physically directed to their target by an operator watching a TV feed, such as the Spike NLOS.
The original article contains 979 words, the summary contains 168 words. Saved 83%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
This murder was so precise you can still read the marking on roof.
Edit: Hey look a coward let us know their presence by downvoting and not replying. Typical behavior from someone who supports killing civilian volunteers that are trying to minimize a genocide.
downvoting your edit.
Do you condemn Israel, cac?
Username checks out.
The World Central Kitchen charity suspended delivery of food to starving Palestinians on Tuesday - this was the real goal of the attack.
Yep. Israel will just investigate themselves and say whoopsies but the message couldn’t have been more clear.
They’re fucking evil.
Not just them. Several aid and medical NGOs are leaving now.
this was on purpose. the World Central Kitchen notified the IDF about their movement, and their vehicles were clearly marked. there is no way this was an accident. the IDF purposely killed aid workers delivering food to Gaza. if this isn’t an indicator of their genocidal intentions, i don’t know what is
This was 100% about stopping the WCK food shipment from cyprus, https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/second-ship-loaded-with-gaza-aid-cyprus-says-charity-2024-03-14/
Stop the genocide now!
It also wasn’t just 1 car, they hit 3 separate WCK cars 1km apart from each other. Killing 7 international aid workers.
Jesus took a shit. And people are buying Israel’s story about it being an accident?
The ones whose paycheck depends on believing it, yeah. Everyone that received support from AIPAC, the mainstream media, etc. They just need the thinnest excuse to parrot and somehow manage to live with themselves.
What I’m reading from this is "they murdered these aid workers on purpose".
Democrats provided the precision munitions that caused this atrocity.
Better vote for Trump then!
You either vote for the polite fascist or you vote for the rude fascist
I’m starting to understand why people on the left hate literals so much. I am going to fucking scream.
Literally?
Is it just Democrats or was it a bipartisan deal? do you have any links to support the claim?
Who is in power.
If a Republican was in power, would it be bad or worse for Palestinians?
This isn’t about the Republicans. This is about YOUR party doing genocide. Deflecting to the greater evil doesn’t negate that fact AT ALL.
It would be the same. When it comes to matters of maintaining the Empire, both parties are the same (although Republicans tend to overestimate its power in ridiculous ways, ironically hastening its decline).
On domestic issues there’s slight differences like who runs the EPA, NLRB, FTC, etc.
Who’s blocking the majority of legislation the ruling party is trying to enact? Republicans.
Nope can’t deflect to the Republicans this time; Democrats overwhelmingly voted to send munitions to an active ongoing genocide.
I have learned one thing from a lot of stuff going on IRL and in the world.
There is no god, and there is no karma. Religions are fairytale bullshit meant to keep us busy. And there is no equality in this world, and there never will be.
