Al Jazeera Sanad probe: Israeli forces deliberately hit WCK convoy
An investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad Verification Agency has found that the Israeli army attacks that killed seven people in a World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid convoy were intentional.
On Monday at 10:43pm (19:43 GMT), journalists reported an Israeli shelling targeting a vehicle on Rashid Street in the central Gaza Strip resulting in casualties. This matches the account of a displaced individual interviewed by Al Jazeera, who confirmed multiple bombings between 11:00 and 11:30pm (20:00 – 20:30 GMT).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that the attack had been executed by Israeli forces, saying they had “unintentionally [hit] innocent people in the Gaza Strip … it happens in war.”
In Israel, scant reaction follows allegations of a deliberate attack on the World Central Kitchen convoy. Concerns arise over the command-and-control structure’s failure or deliberate intent. Allies of affected nations advocate for a transparent investigation, raising questions about the public disclosure of findings by Israeli authorities.
Israeli newspaper Haaretz has quoted Israeli army sources as saying “In Gaza, everyone does as he pleases”.
