So it was part of war against the death-ministry Gaza regime (Hamas) stealing food from its people.

First publication: A mistake of a fraction of a second - the investigation of the killing of the volunteers in Gaza.
The investigation carried out by the Chief of Staff, the commander of the Southern Command and the coordinator of the government's operations in the territories following the incident, which took place in the Southern Command, provided at least one lesson that was quickly implemented: the establishment of a joint Operations-Room of the Israel Defense Forces and the fire center in the Southern Command, with the aim of preventing such events once again.

In Gaza this week, attention was focused on the attack on the vehicles of volunteers of the World Central Kitchen Aid Organization, WCK, on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday. Since the attack, the army has been investigating the incident, trying to understand what happened there and how to draw lessons from the attack...
The operation order made it clear that the IDF is instructed to thwart an attempt by Hamas terrorists to take over the aid trucks that entered Gaza. The IDF, by the way, received this instruction from the political-security cabinet at the beginning of the war, somewhere on October 18, 2023, following heavy pressure from the United States . The directive made it clear that the humanitarian aid to Gaza will continue "as long as the supplies do not reach Hamas", and that any attempt by the terrorist organization to take over the aid will be thwarted.
This is the basis for this week's action, similar to other actions in recent times - which, by the way, did not really succeed in thwarting Hamas' takeover of humanitarian aid. According to the testimonies of aircraft operators, the aid trucks were spotted upon entering Gaza, and some Hamas militants ran towards them. In the past, Hamas easily took control of such trucks, sometimes while driving.
According to aircraft operators who spoke with M.R., this is a very complex event, which takes place in a particularly chaotic reality. This is the reason that in the past also led them to warn their commanders that thwarting the takeover is an almost impossible task, with a very clear potential for malfunctions. But according to them, their commanders did not hesitate and emphasized that this was the order of the operation. The shooting, then, was intended to kill the Hamas terrorists who were trying to take over the trucks, no matter what.
The army followed the militants who waited several hours for the aid trucks. When the first truck entered, the terrorists advanced on it in an attempt to loot it. In similar cases in the past, the goods were quickly unloaded and scattered in the area in a short time. An unusual case happened this week, when during the turn of events several jeeps arrived at the scene, from which people dressed in vests, without weapons, got out and took control of the trucks. At first, the IDF believed that these were Hamas operatives who wanted to loot the trucks, without being able to distinguish between them and the real terrorists - and did not know that these were members of the aid organization.
The aircraft operators had to decide what to do in a very short time, within a few seconds. At first they thought not to attack, to try to understand what was happening and to understand what was happening in the field - but finally it was decided to attack. The IDF is trying to understand why this happened, and if the decision was made without knowing that the operators sought to understand what was happening before an attack.
By the way, a few minutes earlier a smaller bomb was launched into the area, which caused some of the vest wearers to run to the trucks instead of running away and hiding - typical behavior of Hamas terrorists, not aid organization volunteers. This behavior made the organizers of the event conclude that they were indeed terrorists, and therefore a fatal shot was fired.
This is an example of how a split-second decision can turn one story into a major event that excites the whole world, and the resulting pressure may even force the IDF to stop fighting for a moment. The investigation carried out by the Chief of Staff, the commander of the Southern Command and the coordinator of government operations in the territories following the incident, which took place in the Southern Command, provided at least one lesson that was quickly implemented: the establishment of a joint Operations-Room of Coordinator of Government Activities and the fire center in the Southern Command, with the aim of preventing such incidents once more.
In the background of these things, after the global storm passes, we will reach the end of the month of Ramadan this week. Whether Israel admits it or not, it seems that the IDF waited for the end of the holy month for Muslims to begin the operation in Rafah. It is not yet clear when it will begin and if a possible war in the north will thwart its existence.
The IDF has not yet started operating in the southern part of the center camps in Gaza, and has not yet evacuated the residents from there. It is clear to the army chiefs, however, that the goals of the war cannot be met without action in Rafah and the destruction of the four Hamas battalions there, in addition to the operation to destroy the two remaining battalions in the center camps. At the same time, Israel is still required to eliminate the leadership of Hamas and return its kidnapped citizens from Gaza. In the end, everything starts with a political decision, and so far this has not been received.
