A leading U.S. charity group for humanitarian aid deliveries said Friday that one of its convoys was hit in an Israeli strike, killing four Palestinians.
Anera, a U.S. nonprofit focused on helping Palestinian refugees in the Middle East, said an Israeli strike hit the lead vehicle carrying food and fuel to the Emirati Red Crescent Hospital Thursday in Gaza.
The convoy, which departed Kerem Shalom in Israel, had been cleared for transport, the group said in a statement. But four Palestinian community members had offered to step in and drive the vehicle, expressing concerns the route was unsafe and at risk of looting.
The four members, who were killed, were not cleared by Israel, according to Anera, and the Israeli military claimed the lead car was carrying weapons.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed Ukraine's Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk on Friday, according to a presidential decree.
Palestinian health care workers who were arbitrarily captured by the Israeli military are revealing the horrifying, and in some cases deadly, abuse and torture they faced at the hands of soldiers in detention ― further deteriorating Gaza’s health care system that’s already crumbling under Israel’s nearly yearlong siege.
