The vehicle was found and attacked several hundred meters from an area occupied by Israeli soldiers. According to the IDF, five terrorists were eliminated.

The WCK is a nonprofit organization run by Spanish-American chef José Andrés that provides humanitarian food aid."We condemn anyone posing as a World Central Kitchen aid worker or any other nonprofit," the organization said in a statement to US media."This unnecessarily endangers citizens and aid workers. The safety of our team is our top priority."
