An investigation revealed that seven World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers were killed by the Israeli army in Gaza in April 2024 after a misidentification that associated them with Hamas. The attack resulted from a controversial military practice that gives commanders leeway to identify targets based on the alleged association with combatants. Although World Central Kitchen had coordinated the movements of its teams with Israeli forces, a convoy with three international staff members was hit by three rockets, causing deaths of various nationalities. Israel attributed the incident to a misassessment and failures to follow established procedures.
