Jonathan Cook \u2013 Middle East Eye Apr 9, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

After six months \u2013 and many tens of thousands of dead and maimed Palestinian women and children later \u2013 western commentators are finally wondering whether something may be amiss with Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel apparently crossed a red line when it killed<\/a> a handful of foreign aid workers on 1 April, including three British security contractors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Three missiles, fired over several minutes, struck vehicles in a World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid convoy heading up Gaza\u2019s coast on one of the few roads still passable after Israel turned the enclave\u2019s homes and streets\u00a0into rubble. All the vehicles were clearly marked. All were on an approved, safe passage. And the Israeli military had been given the coordinates to track the convoy\u2019s location.<\/p>\n

With precise missile holes through the vehicle roofs making it impossible to blame Hamas for the strike, Israel was forced to admit responsibility. Its spokespeople claimed an armed figure<\/a> had been seen entering the storage area from which the aid convoy had departed.<\/p>\n

But even that feeble, formulaic response could not explain why the Israeli military hit cars in which it was known there were aid workers. So Israel hurriedly promised to investigate what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described as a \u201ctragic incident<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

Israel deeply regrets the tragic incident which claimed the lives of seven humanitarian aid workers. <\/p>\n

Our hearts go out to their families and to their home countries. <\/p>\n

The IDF is conducting a swift and transparent investigation and we will make our findings public. <\/p>\n
