An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip on Saturday resulted in the death of five people, including a worker from World Central Kitchen, an organization that provides aid in the region. The Israeli military claimed the target was a wanted militant involved in Hamas attacks.
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed five people, a senior Palestinian health official said., whose aid delivery efforts in the war-ravaged territory were temporarily suspended earlier this year after an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers, most of them foreigners. World Central Kitchen could not immediately be reached for comment, and it did not mention the deaths on social media.
At Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, a woman held up an employee badge bearing the WCK logo, the word “contractor” and the name of a man said to have been killed in the strike. A heap of belongings — burned phones, a watch and stickers with the WCK logo — lay splayed on the hospital floor.
The strike prompted an international outcry and the suspension of aid to Gaza for a a brief period by several aid groups, including WCK. Another Palestinian WCK worker was killed in August by shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike, the group said. Israel’s military said earlier Saturday that its forces, who remain in southern Lebanon until they withdraw gradually over the 60-day ceasefire period, had been operating to distance “suspects” in the region, without elaborating, and said troops had located and seized weapons found hidden in a mosque.Israel says it reserves the right under the ceasefire to strike against any perceived violations.
