On-site Execution' IDF Kills Palestinian World Central Kitchen Truck Driver in Gaza, Reports Say
According to testimonies, four drivers transporting aid for the World Central Kitchen organization were removed from their trucks, beaten and forced to strip; one of them was shot dead. Following the incident, the truckers' association said it may suspend operations
Well that’s the point isn’t it?
According to the testimonies, an aid convoy of four trucks stopped on the Philadelphi route along Gaza's border with Egypt due to a malfunction in one of them. According to the transportation company that employed Salim, the convoy was pre-coordinated with the UN World Food Program, the WCK organization and the Israeli military. They say the drivers were removed from the trucks, beaten and forced to strip, and then Salim was shot dead.
And of course,,,
The IDF confirmed the shooting, yet provided The Guardian with a different version. According to the IDF spokesman, the forces identified three aid truck drivers who stopped along the Philadelphi route and exited their trucks in violation of established procedures.
He said that as soldiers detained the drivers for questioning, one of the drivers ran toward the forces.

has been nothing than truthful during this whole war.
Just in case this is needed:
Ahmad Nasser Saleem

World Central Kitchen is devastated that a driver who worked for our partner logistics company was killed today by the Israel Defense Forces while transporting goods from the Kerem Shalom border crossing to one of our warehouses in Gaza.
Ahmad Nasser Saleem was doing what so many of our partners do every day in Gaza—working to get food to hungry people. We are in contact with his family, and our deepest grief is with them. WCK expects a full accounting of what happened. Humanitarian aid deliveries should never be a target.
