US EditionIsrael Says It Has Striked Alleged Militants Disguised as World Central Kitchen Workers In Gaza
Israeli forces confirmed five armed militants disguised as World Central Kitchen aid workers were targeted in a Gaza airstrike to prevent misuse of humanitarian cover, the military said.
- Striking militants disguised as aid workers, the IDF said Tuesday it confirmed the car with WCK's logo was not affiliated with the charity after the attack.
- Amid reports of militants exploiting humanitarian cover, the IDF said it struck fighters posing as WCK personnel after troops identified a few dozen armed men in yellow vests near an IDF post in Gaza.
- The Israeli military official said, “We were able to verify in real time with the WCK that this, in fact, is not related to their organization, and is, in fact, a fake vehicle.”
- Against a backdrop of civilian worker deaths, the IDF said it sought to push back against a global outcry over the killing of civilian workers in Gaza, alleging some were armed militants.
- Amid Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis, an April strike killed seven WCK workers, and Israel’s offensive has displaced most of Gaza’s population, pushing the territory toward famine.
