Israel says it kills 5 militants posing as U.S. charity personnel

The Israeli Defense Forces killed five militants disguised as World Central Kitchen aid workers who posed a threat near Israeli troops, confirmed by both the IDF and WCK officials.

  • Last week, the Israel Defense Forces conducted an airstrike on five armed militants near an IDF post in Gaza who were disguised as humanitarian workers using a vehicle bearing the World Central Kitchen logo without any affiliation to the organization.
  • This strike followed real-time verification with World Central Kitchen that the militants and vehicle bearing WCK logos were unaffiliated and that the vehicle was a fake.
  • The militants exploited the trusted status of aid organizations by wearing yellow vests and using the charity's emblem to conceal their armed activity and avoid targeting.
  • The United Nations warned that malnutrition in Gaza has spiked with over 300,000 children at severe risk, while Israel denies widespread starvation is occurring.
  • The incident highlights challenges protecting humanitarian operations amid ongoing conflict that has displaced Gaza's population and driven the territory toward famine.
