Nov 30, 2024, 02:11 PM

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted a targeted vehicle strike in Gaza, killing Ahed Qadih, a terrorist involved in the October 7th massacre at Kibbutz Nir Oz. Qadih was also employed by the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid organization. The IDF had been monitoring Qadih for some time and acted on credible intelligence regarding his real-time location. The vehicle was not coordinated for aid transport, and the IDF is investigating claims that Qadih was a WCK employee. Israel has demanded urgent answers from WCK on how they came to hire an individual involved in the October 7th attack, raising concerns about the infiltration of Hamas terrorists into humanitarian organizations.
