This is MSF, not Hamas-run health ministry
Canât imagine a more unfortunate nation like Palestine whose leadership options are Abbas and Hamas.

I posted this as it humanises the aid workers murdered

Smaller NGOs are currently pausing operations. Israel has already blamed Hamas, others saying its was a friendly fire incident. I am more inclined to believe it was strategic. Along the same lines as itâs stategic war against UNWRA.
I would call this terrorism. Using violence to intimidate civilians.

This was no accident. Itâs a deliberate attempt to control the aid flow and continue to use hunger as a weapon.

I have seen some coverage calling it an airstrike, some calling it a drone strike. The photos arenât particularly conclusive, but it was something with strong penetration, absolutely ripped through the top of the roof and I assume detonated inside the vehicle or as it was puncturing the roof.
Also a deliberate attempt to force Egypt to take in the refugees.
Wouldnât something with strong penetration make a bigger hole in the vehicle ? I do think itâs a high precision strike (more likely a drone strike) but something which makes that kind of penetration in an armored vehicle would likely take more of the vehicle apart.
No, the more readily a round punches through, the cleaner the hole will be. Something that bounced off the roof and exploded (or in the case of a drone, flew close and exploded) would do more generalized damage, and probably flatten the whole car. That was a clear puncture, maybe a blast as it happened that widened the hole. Very high penetration ordnance, such as an AP round, would just go right through - but Hamas would only have those as handheld RPGs (if they have any of those types at all), nothing that would hit the roof unless fired from above (I guess an arc shot but good luck with that), while Israel doesnât have any targets for that kind of round in Gaza. AP rounds will just cut through a softshell vehicle without exploding, had it been something like that, the hole would probably be not much more 10 cms, roundish, and the explosion might have come from under the car when the round hit hard ground and detonated.
The reason I am wondering is the âHamas did itâ and âfriendly fire incidentâ. I canât see how Hamas would have destroyed that, and it is unclear who the âfriendsâ would have been.

Yes and Zionists are evil, they practice terrorism through there beliefs and they should be proscribed as a terrorist organisation.
Israel has acknowledged about the attack.
I see that now - three drone-fired missiles, probably the type made for penetrating weaker armour (top, usually). Hence tearing through the civilian vehicle in the photos, but also being able to destroy the armoured cars (the other two vehicles in the convoy).
Worst of all is the fact that firing appears to have been authorized on the basis of weak intel, that there was âa terrorist in the convoyâ. That is either outright bullshit or rogue hardliners in the military.

Which is pretty much all that has been coming out of the Israeli government and IDF since October.

standard CYA when thereâs a drone operator who got too trigger happy i guess.
Graphic puts it into perspective

You could believe a single mistake, but three seperate drones. Given the clear markings.

Iâd like to know what kind of leverage Israel has against the US, UK and other western countries.
All Iâve seen are comments like âthis is unacceptableâ from polititions regarding this latest strike.
Iâm utterly sick of hearing âyouâre antisemeticâ allegations towards anyone criticising Israel.
Fucking vile nation entrenched in hatred
