Just sounds like hollow words now. Deeply troubling, but here's more bombs, continue the genocide.
US calls Israeli attack on WFP vehicle ‘deeply troubling’
US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller has labelled an Israeli military attack on a UN World Food Programme (WFP) convoy in Gaza a “deeply troubling incident”.
“Humanitarian workers are there to help innocent civilians, and Israel must ensure they are protected,” he wrote on X.
The WFP has said it is suspending humanitarian operations in Gaza after Israeli forces opened fire on the “clearly marked” UN aid convoy at a checkpoint on Tuesday evening.
It said in a statement the WFP vehicles had received “multiple clearances by Israeli authorities to approach” the checkpoint before Israeli forces opened fire, striking a vehicle 10 times with bullets.
The Israeli military has claimed that an initial review of the incident has found the shots were fired after a “communication error”.
The Israeli Defense Forces shooting of a @WFP vehicle in Gaza is a deeply troubling incident. Humanitarian workers are there to help innocent civilians, and Israel must ensure they are protected.

Harris says ‘too many innocent Palestinians’ killed in Gaza, but won’t stop weapons delivery to Israel
US Vice President Kamala Harris has said a captives-for-ceasefire deal is needed in Gaza and reiterated that too many innocent civilians are being killed in the enclave.
The Democratic presidential nominee, however, told CNN that she would not break with President Joe Biden’s policies on Israel, including the delivery of weaponry.
“No,” she said when asked in an interview with the US network on Thursday if she would withhold weapons. “Israel has a right to defend itself … and how it does so matters. Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed, and we have got to get a deal done,” she said.
Fuck Harris, no different from Biden.
Israeli military carries out attack on second aid convoy in southern Gaza: Reports
There are reports that Israel’s military carried out an air strike on a vehicle travelling in a convoy organised by US-based humanitarian group Anera in southern Gaza on Thursday evening.
According to unconfirmed reports, five people were killed in the strike on the convoy, which was carrying medical supplies and fuel to a hospital in Rafah. Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, has described the attack as “shocking” in reports.
The Israeli military claimed it carried out the deadly strike after “armed men took over a vehicle at the front of the convoy and began to lead it”.
“There was no damage to the other vehicles in the convoy and it reached its destination according to the plan. The attack on the armed men removed the threat of them taking over the humanitarian convoy,” the Israeli military said.
Anera’s Rasheed did not confirm the Israeli military’s version of events about armed men, saying instead that “several individuals, all employed by the transportation company we work with” were killed.
“The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed,” she said.
The air strike comes only hours after Israeli soldiers opened fire on a World Food Programme vehicle that was clearly marked with UN insignia, in an attack even the US – Israel’s strongest supporter of the war on Gaza – described as “deeply troubling”.
Five killed following Israeli attacks in Khan Younis, Jabalia camp
The Israeli military has killed at least five people, including a child, after carrying out attacks in the town of Abasan al-Kabira in southern Gaza and the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza, the Wafa news agency reports.
Israeli fighter jets bombed a house in Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, killing three people and injuring others, according to Wafa.
Two people, including a child, were also killed when Israeli forces bombed an apartment near the al-Hawja intersection in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza.
