The IDF's inquiry into the incident says some workers survived initial air strikes, but were killed when a third car was hit
Israeli military dismisses 2 officers over drone strikes on aid workers
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military announced on Friday that it has dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in drone strikes in Gaza that killed seven aid workers on a food-delivery mission.According to investigators, the service members had mishandled critical information and violated the army’s rules of engagement.The findings of a retired general's investigation into the Monday killings came as Israel faces growing accusations from key allies, including the US, that it is not doing enough to protect Gaza's civilians from its war with Hamas.As the fallout from the aid convoy killings continues, Tel Aviv said it is taking steps to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, including reopening a key border crossing into hard-hit northern...

Gaza evacuation warnings from IDF contain many errors, report reveals
GAZA — Evacuation warnings issued by Israel to people in Gaza ahead of attacks have contained a host of significant errors, BBC analysis has revealed.Warnings contained contradictory information and sometimes misnamed districts. This made them confusing to Gazans seeking safety.Experts say such mistakes could violate Israel's international law obligations.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has rejected any assertion the warnings were confusing or contradictory.In a statement, it said the alerts analysed by the BBC were only one element of its "extensive efforts to encourage the evacuation [of] civilians out of harm's way".International humanitarian law requires attacking forces to give effective advance warning of attacks which may affect the civilian population, unless...

Israel disables GPS and cancels troops leave over Iran threat
TEL AVIV — GPS is being blocked across Israel in an attempt to disrupt incoming missiles and drones, as tensions rise with Iran.Iran has vowed to respond after a strike on its consulate building in Syria on Monday — which Israel was widely believed to be behind — killed 13 people, including a senior general.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also announced it is halting all leave for soldiers serving with combat units.It comes a day after reservists were called up to bolster air defence units.Israeli authorities seem to believe an Iranian response is imminent and could come as soon as Friday, which is Quds Day — or Jerusalem Day — the last Friday in the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan.It is a day which has frequently been used to stage pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel rallies,...

Charity boss says Israel targeted staff in Gaza 'car by car'
GAZA — World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting his aid workers "systematically, car by car".Monday's strike which killed seven members of his staff was not a mistake, he said, repeating that Israeli forces had been told of their movements.WCK workers from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US were killed as well as their Palestinian colleague.Israel says the strike was a "grave mistake" and has apologized.It has also promised an independent investigation.According to the charity, the aid convoy was hit while leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, "where the team had unloaded more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route".The convoy was made up of three...

Gaza is the most lethal place in the world to be an aid worker, says IRC
GENEVA — The humanitarian group, International Rescue Committee (IRC), says the killing of international charity workers this week by an Israeli air strike highlights that Gaza is the "most lethal place in the world to be an aid worker."Israeli airstrikes on World Central Kitchen aid workers delivering food in Gaza killed at least seven people — including a U.S.-Canada dual citizen and citizens of Australia, Poland and the United Kingdom on Monday."There is an uncomfortable reality that until Monday, to the best of my knowledge, all of the aid workers killed (to that point) have been Palestinians," IRC Senior Vice President of International Programs Ciarán Donnelly told the Associated Press."We have seen a significant increase in global attention to this...

UK should end arms sales to Israel, say legal experts
LONDON — Three former Supreme Court justices have joined more than 600 legal experts in calling for the UK government to end weapons sales to Israel.In a letter to the prime minister, they said exports must end because the UK risks breaking international law over a "plausible risk of genocide" in Gaza.Rishi Sunak is already facing growing cross-party pressure after seven aid workers were killed in an air strike.On Tuesday, he said the UK has a "very careful" arms licensing regime.British sales are lower than those of other countries, including Germany and Italy, and dwarfed by the billions supplied by its largest arms supplier, the United States.But a UK ban would add diplomatic and political pressure on Israel, at a time when its conduct in the Gaza conflict is...

Israel is using artificial intelligence to help pick bombing targets in Gaza, report says
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has been using artificial intelligence to help identify bombing targets in Gaza, according to an investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call, citing six Israeli intelligence officials involved in the alleged program – who also allege that human review of the suggested targets was cursory at best.The officials, quoted in an extensive investigation by the online publication jointly run by Palestinians and Israelis, said that the AI-based tool was called “Lavender” and was known to have a 10% error rate.When asked about +972 Magazine’s report, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) did not dispute the existence of the tool but denied AI was being used to identify suspected terrorists. But in a lengthy statement it emphasized that “information systems are...

Dr. Thaer Ahmad
Palestinian American doctor walks out of Biden meeting in protest
WASHINGTON — A Palestinian American doctor walked out of a meeting with President Joe Biden before it was over Tuesday evening, underscoring the high tensions, anger and concern from Arab, Palestinian and Muslim American communities amid the Israel-Hamas war.Dr. Thaer Ahmad, an emergency physician from Chicago who traveled to Gaza earlier this year, told CNN he abruptly left the meeting that included Vice President Kamala Harris, national security adviser Jake Sullivan, other administration officials and a small group of Muslim community leaders.While the president has often faced protests and interruptions at public events in the last several months, Ahmad’s decision to leave the meeting is perhaps the most intimate moment of protest the president has faced to date since Israel’s...

WASHINGTON — An Israeli strike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers for the non-profit World Central Kitchen has touched off fury and indignation inside the White House, prompting President Joe Biden on Tuesday to release a public statement using a word he has rarely invoked over the course of the conflict that has been filled with endless tragedy: “Outraged.”The deaths of the workers who were attempting to deliver food to starving civilians in the besieged enclave – including one dual US-Canadian citizen – has raised the frustration for Biden and his top officials to a new level, a senior administration official told CNN.Biden’s statement Tuesday evening that mourned the deaths of the seven workers included some of the most fiery and blunt language from the president since...

Israel draws fire for death of aid workers as charities pull out
JERUSALEM —Some of Israel's closest allies, including the United States, on Tuesday condemned the deaths of seven aid workers who were killed by airstrikes in Gaza — a loss that prompted multiple charities to suspend food deliveries to Palestinians on the brink of starvation.The deaths of the World Central Kitchen workers threatened to set back efforts by the US and other countries to open a maritime corridor for aid from Cyprus to help ease the desperate conditions in northern Gaza.President Joe Biden issued an unusually blunt criticism of Israel by its closest ally, suggesting that the incident demonstrated that Israel was not doing enough to protect civilians.“Israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed help to civilians,” he said,...
