Israeli airstrike targets World Central Kitchen vehicle, killing 5
A video reviewed by ABC News shows the aftermath of an airstrike on a vehicle that was targeted by the Israeli military while travelling on Salah al-Din road near Khan Younis on Saturday.
The airstrike killed five people, including World Central Kitchen workers, according to the organization, which said in a statement they are pausing operations in Gaza at this time.
A few onions and potatoes, together with personal belongings, can be seen in the back of the vehicle.
The IDF said in a statement that it struck a vehicle with a terrorist who took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel.
"World Central Kitchen had no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack," the food aid organization said.
WCK added, "Our hearts are with our colleagues and their families in this unimaginable moment."
