Original Note:
The WCK aid workers were NOT targeted by Israel. They were killed unintentionally by the IDF due to a misidentification. The IDF Chief has apologised for the incident. The intended target was an armed Hamas operative thought to travel with the aid workers. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-04-02/ty-article/.premium/idf-bombed-wck-aid-convoy-3-times-targeting-armed-hamas-member-who-wasnt-there/0000018e-9e75-d764-adff-9eff29360000 https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/world/israel-hamas/2024/04/02/world-central-kitchen-7-workers-killed-israel-live-updates/73175598007/ https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-three-britons-killed-in-gaza-named-as-idf-says-misidentification-led-to-deadly-airstrike-13106471
