Israel says individuals were gunmen, which it specifically targeted without harming others; Anera does not explain their presence but says it did not view them as 'hostile threat'

A US-based aid group admitted Friday that a group of individuals — who the Israeli military says were armed — took control of an aid convoy in the southern Gaza Strip the day before, without the organization having vetted them or coordinated the matter with the Israel Defense Forces.

The military said Thursday that it struck the gunmen, killing them while not harming aid workers.

According to the IDF, Hamas operatives frequently try to hijack aid deliveries.

The IDF had said on Thursday that a convoy of aid trucks from the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization entered the southern Rafah area with Israeli coordination. It said that during the drive, it identified a group of gunmen taking over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and beginning to lead it. The IDF described the act as a hijacking attempt.

Shortly afterward, the IDF said it was able to determine that it could strike just the car with the gunmen, without harming the rest of the convoy, and so it carried out a strike, killing at least four.

    You’re right about the ICJ vs ICC which is a mistake I don’t ordinarily make. My only execute for that is I woke up in the middle of the night from a migraine.

    Your quotes however are extremely cherry picked, and your description of what they mean is absolutely wrong.

    Part of the case was about establishing South Africa’s right to bring the case, but part of it was to determine the plausibility of the charge.

    The International Court of Justice has found it is “plausible” that Israel has committed acts that violate the Genocide Convention. In a provisional order delivered by the court’s president, Joan Donoghue, the court said Israel must ensure “with immediate effect” that its forces not commit any of the acts prohibited by the convention.

    Donoghue said the court cannot make a final determination right now on whether Israel is guilty of genocide. But she said that given the deteriorating situation in Gaza, the court has jurisdiction to order measures to protect Gaza’s population from further risk of genocide.

    But, I’m sure NPR is Hamas, right?

      Since when does the West Bank have restrictions on Journalists entering?

      You don’t believe the president of the court you cite, okay then.

        I literally posted a link, so others don’t have to determine of over cherry picked my quote that shows my assertion.

        You don’t believe anything that goes counter to your love for an apartheid government.
