The intelligence services are viewing any opportunity as a threat. The IDF is not coordinated in verification. While these food workers were targets there were radio transmissions from Hamas carrying misinformation about Fatah.

The attack on the convoy should never have occurred. The WCK did everything right and Hamas’ radio transmission set them up for death because the IDF has a rapid, undisciplined trigger finger that disregards all attempts to control the danger to humanitarian workers.
There is every reason for Fatah to be involved and providing security from Hamas violence. This transmission by Hamas could easily have been engineered to elicit the exact reaction from the IDF that occurred.
There is absolutely no reason for Hamas’ objection to be regarded as important and the propaganda by news media of their complaints is wrong and needs to end. This complaint, be it engineered or not, is proof that Iran’s terrorist networks have no intention of peace or good governance.
This incidence if it occurred as described here is more proof of inappropriate and out of control IDF aggression. The operations by the IDF must be suspended when Food Assistance of any kind is known and authorized by the Israeli Central Command.
Put the jets on the ground when aid workers are authorized to be active among the Palestinian people regardless of Hamas infiltration!
Hamas infiltrates for reasons of advancing their violence, both in finding supplies for their militias and continuing the strategy of human shields. Some degree of Hamas aggression has to be accepted if the people are to receive humanitarian relief.
It is time for the IDF and the Palestinian Authority along with USA intelligence to begin governance that returns the land to a purpose of use to the citizens that will live there. The IDF is operating in an expansive manner that will bring its conflict to a point where it will be defeated. The IDF cannot continue to move its war theater to greater boundaries. It will invoke other major countries in the world if it hasn’t already to participate and the IDF will reach a limit of engagement where it will fail.
The time has come to end the aggressive stance of the Israeli forces, declare victory over Hamas, and begin a relationship with the Palestinian Authority for governance of Gaza.
Destroying Hamas has to be an ongoing “peace enforcement” issue going forward. No Palestinian will be a human shield again. It is that capacity that allows Hamas its power and when denied by good governance will destabilize the power the Iranian backed terrorist group.
Politics in Gaza will be suspended indefinitely and until peace is achieved with good governance. The people of Gaza must accept the benevolence of the PA and Israeli forces. There will be no independent munitions allowed in the Gaza territory.
It is the way I see it. There is enough of a victory over Hamas to declare victory, and a governance model that is aggressive in ending terrorist power that will also end Iranian power. Quite frankly, if the war continues it serves Iran and Hamas’ plans, not the IDF.
The USA has a role with its allie through intelligence gathering and training ground operations to prevent a repeat of Palestinian victimization to violence. The IDF ground forces have been experiencing ambush attacks that successfully kill soldiers. The PA can’t do it alone.
Young Palestinian men can be employed to earn money through construction work operated by Israeli companies.
The region needs a peace strategy that ends hatred and proxy Iranian aggression through terrorist networks.
