US-Hilfsorganisation gibt zu, dass Gaza-Konvoi von nicht überprüften Personen übernommen wurde, bevor die IDF ihn angriff

>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.

>Anera said that after the convoy departed the Kerem Shalom crossing, “four community members with experience in previous missions and engagement in community security” with their transport company, Move One, “stepped forward and took command of the leading vehicle, citing concern that the route was unsafe and at risk of being looted.”  

>Anera did not explain who the four were, or why persons who had not been coordinated with the military were allowed to take control of the convoy. It acknowledged that “the four community members were neither vetted nor coordinated in advance.”  

>Still, the organization said “the four individuals were not perceived by the convoy as a hostile threat” and that the Israeli strike “was carried out without any prior warning or communication.”  

Anera says the 4 armed people were helping guard the convoy. Israel killed them because they looked like they were hi jacking the convoy. 

I think this is an understandable mishap because of the random men taking control of the lead vehicle of an aid convoy.  

The men are not confirmed to be guards or terrorists. 

The article is steeped in biased language. 

Unfortunately, all the western left is going to remember is the initial emotional response to the story that an aid convoy was shot at

Anera did not explain who the four were, or why persons who had not been coordinated with the military were allowed to take control of the convoy.

So guessing they paid off the aid workers to take the aid?
