WCK said it had co-ordinated the convoy's movements with the IDF when it was hit.

WTF?! How could this happen? Is IDF that incompetent and must hit anything that moves?

The answer is in the headline. WCK is halting its operations. IDF Mission: Accomplished.

The armored trucks were also clearly labeled with the charities logos.

This means the trucks were bombed intentionally, they were bombed when clearly identified as aid workers, or they were bombed indiscriminately.

None of the above is good for the IDF.

Most likely they will claim the "fog of war" was the issue and there will be non specific "changes" that they will make after a long delay, all while blaming aid organizations for not providing volunteers to stop the genocidal starvation they are causing.

Nah this is the outcome they were looking for. Mission accomplished.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 7 months ago

I took it to mean the IDF hit the convoy intentionally, knowing all its movements and such from the coordination.

[–] RadioRat 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was intentional. WCK coordinated with the IDF on the route plan.

[–] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 21 points 7 months ago

the IDF hit the convoy three times with precision guided munitions over the span a couple of kilometers.

the claim was that they had seen someone who was alleged to be an armed terrorist enter the building hours before the convoy departed from it.

How dare you feed the children that look similar to a drawing that could be a terrorist

Israel gotta make sure to "accidentally" kill food aid workers so its "accidental" famine "accidentally" drives Gazans to desperation and death.

Oh, but they have the right to self defense.

You know, they rape the women in the neighboring country out of self defense.

They bomb hospitals in the next country over out of self defense.

They starve the population of the neighboring country out of self defense.

Alternatively: murder

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 3 points 7 months ago

They both sound equally terrible.

We need to start using U.S. troops to make these food deliveries. These types of "mistakes" would stop immediately.
