IDF claims ‘armed assailants’ tried to hijack vehicle leading convoy of medical supplies, but aid organiser says those killed were transport company staff

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.

      things don’t mean what the the person who said the nintended. They only mean what I want them to be.

      Lol what.

      Absolve: declare (someone) free from guilt.

      Their comment

      It has little to nothing to do with the president.

      Is objectively an absolvement of Bidens role in the genocide. I’m not changing words here, youre just denying the obvious.

      Ah so it is all about circle jerking and empty virtue signaling for you. The apartheid has been going on close to 80 years at this point. Since before Biden was in high school let alone the Senate. If you want to prove that Biden was some evil Super Genius grade school kid. You’re going to need something more than a link to something that happened in 2022.

      What the hell are you talking about. I didn’t say Biden started the damned apartheid state. I said he actively chose to arm the apartheid genocidal state, YOU Are the one who said he armed them NOW.

      Also "stop virtue signaling over genocide is an absolutely insane and EVIL thing to say or believe.

      Before it was unabashedly clear Israel’s goal was genocide.

      So what is it, has been evil so we can’t blame Biden for that, or Biden couldn’t have known Israel would do evil with the weapons so we can’t blame Biden?

      You can’t have both.

      Why either of you is still so obsessed over Biden who won’t even be in office in 4 months. But either way there’s no intelligent conversation with you. So blocked and by Felicia.

      ** You** are tying yourself in knots to defend someone carrying out a genocide. I’m simply pointing out the fact that he is objectively responsible for arming the genocide.

      Maybe grow up and stop blocking anyone who disagrees with you…but I guess the cognitive dissonance hurts too bad when you have to think about how you are actively supporting a literal genocide? .
