The IDF says it carried out an airstrike against a car in the southern Gaza Strip earlier today, targeting a terrorist who participated in the October 7 onslaught.
Palestinian media report that the strike in Khan Younis killed five people, including three local aid workers with World Central Kitchen.
“The terrorist was under intelligence surveillance for a long period, and was struck following reliable information about his location in real-time,” the military says.
The IDF says it is looking into claims that the terrorist was also employed by WCK, hired at some stage after the start of the war.
“We emphasize that it was a civilian unmarked vehicle and its movement on the route was not coordinated for transporting of aid,” the military adds.
