Some new information:
Explosive weapons expert Chris Cobb-Smith told CNN on Tuesday that the strikes appeared to have been carried out by an Israeli drone.
Cobb-Smith, a former British Army artillery officer and munitions expert, said the heavy damage to the three vehicles was consistent with the use of “highly accurate drone fired missiles,” adding it was “hard to believe” the tragic incident was an accident.
The drone that fired the fatal missiles would have been operated in conjunction with a surveillance drone, Cobb-Smith said, meaning the Israeli military would have had total visibility of the cars, including the WCK logo. The “limited blast” and “considerable localized destruction” seen in photos and videos of the aftermath are also consistent with an Israeli UAV strike, he added.
Cobb-Smith told CNN missile fragments would be needed to definitively identify the exact munition used in the strike.
Patrick Senft, a research coordinator at Armament Research Services (ARES), told CNN: “without munition fragments, I can’t say anything for certain, but the damage to the vehicles appears consistent with precision guided munitions with a small explosive payload.” Senft added that the aftermath of the strike “seems consistent with munitions deployed by UAVs.”
Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday that “an Israeli drone fired three missiles one after the other” at the WCK aid convoy as it drove away from the non-profit’s distribution center, citing “defense sources familiar with the details” of the incident.
Defense sources told Haaretz the missiles were launched from a Hermes 450 drone “because of suspicion that a terrorist was traveling with the convoy,” on a food truck. The report adds that though neither the armed man nor the truck he was traveling on left the warehouse, “the war room of the unit responsible for security of the route ordered the drone operators to attack one of the cars with a missile,” according to Haaretz’s defense sources.
That doesn't make any sense. “the war room of the unit responsible for security of the route ordered the drone operators to attack one of the cars with a missile,” And why attack the other 2 cars as well, and who/where is this supposed armed terrorist at WCK. The Hasbara wheels are spinning.
