Israeli military launches fatal airstrike on humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza
IDF claims ‘armed assailants’ tried to hijack vehicle leading convoy of medical supplies, but aid organiser says those killed were transport company staff
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they carried out an airstrike on a humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza aimed at “armed assailants” trying to hijack it but the charity that organised the aid said people killed in the strike were employees of the transport company it was working with.
The convoy, organised by the US-based NGO Anera, was carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati-run hospital in Rafah on Thursday evening at the time of the attack. Its route had been coordinated in advance with the IDF, under a deconfliction process intended to prevent aid vehicles being bombed.
Anera’s Palestine country director, Sandra Rasheed, said: “This is a shocking incident. The convoy, which was coordinated by Anera and approved by Israeli authorities, included an Anera employee who was fortunately unharmed.

Wow, most misleading title ever.
How so? Seems pretty clear it was humanitarian aid convoy in Gaza, and it it was Israel that launched an attack on it that killed people.
What's your angle?
The convoy was being used to transport Hamas militants, masquerading as humanitarian aid workers (a war crime fyi). The attack targeted (and struck) only the militants.
Claiming this was an attack on a humanitarian convoy and that some random people were hit is highly misleading
Lets see the source for this. The title is not misleading for article.

The Guardian is an untrustworthy biased POS.
It says the same exact thing, except omitting the part where they talked to Anera....
Would you mind clarifying what you think is misleading in the title?
