World Food Programme halts Gaza staff movements after vehicle fired upon at Israeli checkpoint

In a statement, the World Food Programme (WFP) said the incident happened at the Wadi Gaza bridge on Tuesday evening as two of its armoured vehicles were escorting a convoy of lorries with humanitarian aid.

The WFP said that while nobody was injured, one vehicle was directly hit, despite the convoy being clearly marked and "receiving multiple clearances by Israel".

Executive director Cindy McCain described the incident as "totally unacceptable".

"I call on the Israeli authorities and all parties to the conflict to act immediately to ensure the safety and security of all aid workers in Gaza," she added.

Israel strikes aid convoy organized by U.S. humanitarian group, killing 5

The Israeli military fired a missile killing five people in the lead vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza that it claimed had been hijacked by militants.

The D.C.-based nonprofit that organized the convoy, American Near East Refugee Aid, known as Anera, described it as a “shocking incident” in a statement on Friday and said that those killed were from a local transportation company. It was urgently seeking more details about the incident.

The convoy had been delivering medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah, Palestine Country Director Sandra Rasheed said in the statement to The Washington Post, and its route was coordinated with the Israel Defense Forces.

In its account of the incident, the IDF said ... gunmen had seized the lead vehicle of the convoy, prompting the attack.

“During the convoy’s journey, armed militants took control of a vehicle at the front of the convoy,” the IDF said. “An attack was carried out against them. No other vehicles in the convoy were harmed, and it reached its destination as planned.”

An Anera employee, Mousa Shawwa, a logistics coordinator in Gaza, was killed on March 8 by an Israeli airstrike while he was in a deconflicted shelter, the charity’s CEO Sean Carroll told The Washington Post at the time. The relief worker’s 6-year-old son, Karim, also died 10 days later from injuries suffered during the attack, he said.

I'm actually not surprised with this. Revenge is a typical human response when friends family members are slaughtered for no reason. And then you find out the Gazan civilians were involved and are hiding g and helping Hamas, then revenge is understandable. Even though we feel revenge is the wrong motive.

We all know who is actually responsible for driving rhe revenge factor. The Isreali soldiers would never have been there exacting revenge if it weren't for Hamas, most likely driven by Iran. If they would have left Israel alone, none of this would have happened.
2/3rds of Israelis believe gang-raping innocent Palestinians is ok.

Notice how the situation in Gaza / Palestine has completely dropped out of the news in the US, and Democrats no longer talk about it

meanwhile, more US warships and Marines are being deployed to the US

left-wing media outlets, such as the Young Turks, aren't saying a word about what is going on over there since Kamala Harris was installed as the nominee. Left-wing pundits complained that Josh Shapiro was too much of a Zionist and IDF supporter

but when Harris selected Tim Walz, who is even more of a Zionist than Shapiro (receives AIPAC funding and has spoken at their events, is endorsed by J Street, has met Netanyahu, and expressed unconditional support for Israel) everyone suddenly changed their tune. Zero commentary on Walz's positions on Israel and Palestine

the 15 minute attention span of low-information voters and activists is spent. Now that their preferred candidate is selected, the Palestinians are no longer a consideration
Why do many who claim the right consider not murdering toddlers to be a leftist issue. Shouldn't everyone be against murdering toddlers? Did Jesus say, "Bring the toddlers to me so that I may murder them - their parents are bad people." ?

Foreign Minister Israel Katz said he discussed the cowardly terror strike with Netanyahu. He also declared that “Hezbollah crossed all red lines” and Israel was now “facing an all-out war” with the terror group.
Katz then warned Hezbollah would pay a high toll for its actions and was confident Israel would have the full support of the United States and Europe when they decided to ultimately retaliate.
Given Hezbollah’s close ties with Iran, this attack raises the possibility of an eventual all-out war between Iran and Israel.

Iran is behind it all.
Sadly, Netanyahu is using an errant Israeli Iron Dome missile to try to justify the murder of more toddlers.

In January, Hamas released a video showing three hostages, Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, and asked, “What do you think?’ The sick goal seemed to guess who, if any, of the three remained alive.
Later that day, they released a video where Argamani was forced to say that two of her fellow captives were dead.

Hamas must be eliminated.

She was forced to tell the truth???? How despicable!

It's astounding to me to think there are people here who are appalled at a safe zone being hit because hamas was there. Do people not understand that hamas will go anywhere? They've been in schools, hospitals, and transporting in ambulances. What on earth makes us think they wouldn't go into a safe zone? Of course they would because either two things will happen. They will be safe or they place Palestinians in danger as they hide behind them.

I should be clear right now there is no safe place for Hamas and until Hanas is beaten there will be no safe place for Palestinians who are not supporters.
No, Hamas tends to stick to their tunnel network and spends their time targeting Israeli troops. I haven't seen any evidence of Hamas stationed in schools, hospitals, or ambulances. They do attack Israeli troops when they illegally occupy schools and hospitals. Hamas won't even attack Israeli troops who are sent to medivac other Israeli troops.

The same reason 2 babies and a toddler were killed on October 7, and thousands of babies and toddlers were killed by the IDF. Hamas shows the ability to restrain themselves while the IDF shows no ability to restrain itself.

The former president added, "We want our hostages back. And they better be back before I assume office, or you will be paying a very big price."

Trump will assist Israel in order to bring the war to an end.
How's he gonna do that?

Thats why I said what I said. Revenge is an understandable response to what Hamas did. They have done as much if not more to the Jews.

As has been said, revenge is a dish best served cold. Revenge is an ugly thing.

But if Hamas would have just come out to fight instead of being cowards and murdering children none of this would have happened.

They and those that support them are to blame for everything.

That's right. Thats why Hamas was attacked.
I wouldn't say Israel is attacking the Palestinians solely for the purpose of murdering toddlers as you have just posted.

Israel is attacking the Palestinians in the hope to take the land after a successful ethnic cleaning. In addition, Israel is hoping the destruction and mass murder will deter neighboring states from opposing their country in any way. Although Israel wants an ethnic cleansing, they'll be satisfied by a genocide.

As far as I know neither Hamas nor Israel are followers of Jesus. We are all against killing children. War is a terrerrible, horrible thing and is a great cost to humanity and the humanity of those involved in it. That's why you shouldn't start one.

Oh yes an Arabic news source is incredibly unbiased. And im.sure everything they say is the truth. Do t forget that it's perfectly okay to.lie to the infidels.

Secondly rhere is ZERO confirmation or substantiation for their assertions. No cooperation.

Thirdly your claim is definitive despite the fact even your article is not, despite its observations.

What did Hamas do?

Revenge is when you attack those who have done something to you. Gangraping innocent people is not revenge. It's reveling in the in the dehumanization of another.

As I've said before, only 2 babies and one toddler died on October 7. In addition, between 30-40 children under the age of 18 died. While tragic, this is not even close to thousands of babies and toddlers Israel has purposefully killed. Israel has purposefully killed over fourteen thousand children. Since October 7, I have seen no children killed by Hamas.

Hamas has come out fighting every week of the war. You can watch it on Electric Intifada on Youtube.

Those who murder are to blame for their own actions.

Of course you have. You just choose not to believe it.

Israel can't illegally occupy anything. This war against Hamas is a just war because Hamas is nothing but a terrorist organization set upon rhe destruction and murder of Jews.

Perhaps that is what is needed in order of Israel to continue to survive in the region. It's a proven fact now that rhe Palestinians refuse to leave Israel alone. I'm beginning to think that in order for Israel to survive the Palestinians need to be driven out.
