US-based aid group World Central Kitchen confirms seven staff members were killed in a “targeted attack” by the Israeli military and called on it to stop “this indiscriminate killing” in Gaza.

Those killed were from Palestine, Australia, Poland, the UK, and a US-Canada citizen.

Doctors Without Borders says Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital is “in ruins” a day after Israeli troops withdrew from the complex following a two-week raid.

An Iranian official says Israel attacked the Islamic Republic’s consulate building in Damascus, killing several people, including a senior IRGC commander, because the Israeli military had failed to achieve its objectives in Gaza.

At least 32,916 Palestinians have been killed and 75,494 wounded in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll in Israel from Hamas’s October 7 attack stands at 1,139, with dozens still held captive

Food aid organisation World Central Kitchen (WCK) said Tuesday an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers in the Gaza Strip as they delivered food aid that had arrived by sea earlier in the day. "World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza," the US-based charity said in a statement, adding that those killed were "from Australia, Poland, United Kingdom, a dual citizen of the US and Canada and Palestine".

Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that an independent, professional expert body would investigate the aid workers' deaths, and expressed condolences to WCK's founder, Chef Jose Anders, as well as "to our allied nations who have been doing and continue to do so much to assist those in need".

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry and eyewitnesses say Israel's assault on the Al-Shifa hospital left destruction on a massive scale. Health officials said dozens of bodies have been recovered in and around the complex, and a spokesperson for the WHO said the destruction of the enclave's largest hospital amounted to "ripping the heart out of" Gaza's health system.

At least 32,916 Palestinians have been killed and 75,494 wounded since Israel began its offensive on Gaza, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave. Around 1,140 people were killed in the Hamas-led October 7 attacks and 250 people taken hostage, according to Israeli figures, with 132 still missing.

Why find yourself in an area targeted as HOT ZONE.
Even the innocent are not spared during war.

I guess Israel is also defending itself against these aid workers. Just maybe, they are Hamas too.

Are these people also Hamas?
WCK shared the co-ordinates of their vehicles with IDF, still they were bombed to bits..
It's sad how no-one can seem to rein Isreal in. The people killed are from Australia, US, Poland, UK, Palestine. Let's see if their countries will finally give a shit.
At the beginning of the war, WCK's chief was supporting Isreal, how the tables have turned now.

Don't forget, Isreal also bombed Iran's embassy yesterday in Syria. That thing wey dem dey find, dem go soon see am.
