”It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”
~ Mark Twain [IsraelTimes] US envoy claims IDF pinned incident on communication error; army is yet to formally comment after WFP paused Gaza activity following shooting toward car, in which nobody was hurt.
But wait — there’s MORE!!! US aid group admits Gaza convoy was taken over by unvetted people before IDF struck them
[IsraelTimes] Israel says individuals were gunmen, which it specifically targeted without harming others; Anera does not explain their presence but says it did not view them as ‘hostile threat’
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 Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
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 button men, killing them while not harming aid workers.
According to the IDF, Hamas
 ..always the voice of sweet reason...
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 button men 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 button men, without harming the rest of the convoy, and so it carried out a strike, killing at least four.
In a vaguely worded statement on Friday, 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."
No Anera employees were hurt in the incident, and the convoy arrived at its destination, both the IDF and the organization said. According to the Anera, only one employee was present in the convoy, and they were unharmed.
The IDF said Thursday that "the presence of gunnies in a humanitarian convoy without coordination is against the procedures, makes it difficult to secure the convoys and their workers and thus also harms the humanitarian effort in Gaza."
The military also said that representatives from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) unit spoke with members of Anera, who "confirmed that all the members of the organization who were part of the convoy, along with the humanitarian aid , were safe and sound and reached their destination safely."
