Israeli military hit aid convoy three times, targeting Hamas member 'who wasn't there'

An Israeli drone fired three missiles at the World Central Kitchen convoy on Monday, Haaretz reported citing defence sources. 

According to the sources, the Israeli war room responsible for the route identified an alleged armed Hamas member on a truck going to the food warehouse in Deir al-Balah alongside three World Central Kitchen cars. The truck and the cars arrived at the warehouse safely. 

Minutes later, the cars - with seven volunteers in them - left the facility, without the truck or the armed man. They drove along a route that had been approved by Israel's military. 

The Israeli war room then attacked one of the cars with a missile, according to the report. 

Some of the passengers in the targeted car switched to the other two vehicles, before another missile hit. 

The passengers in the third car then attempted to get those who had survived the second strike out of danger - before the Israeli drone operators targeted with a third missile strike. All seven volunteers were killed.
