6:44 am: According to Israeli sources, shots fired by the Israeli army at clearly marked World Food Program vehicles in the Gaza Strip were due to communication problems between Israeli military units. This was reported by the United States Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Robert Wood at a meeting of the United Nations Security Council. The USA called on Israel to immediately rectify the problems in its system. “Israel must not only accept responsibility for its mistakes, but also take concrete measures to ensure that Israeli forces do not fire on UN personnel again.”
The World Food Program temporarily suspended the transport of its workers through the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. One of his vehicles was hit by at least ten bullets near an Israeli military checkpoint on Tuesday night. According to a statement from the World Food Programme, the convoy of two armored vehicles had received several permissions from the Israeli authorities to approach the checkpoint on the Wadi Gaza Bridge. No one was injured in the incident.
