Israeli forces have reportedly targeted aid workers in Gaza on at least eight occasions since October 7, despite the organizations providing their coordinates for protection, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW). The attacks resulted in the deaths of 15 individuals, including two children, as outlined in a recent HRW report.
HRW alleged that Israeli authorities did not issue advance warnings to any of the relief organizations before carrying out the strikes. One of the attacks on January 18 involved a US-made munition with British components, delivered by an F-16 aircraft, as stated by the UK-based NGO Medical Aid for Palestinians, citing UN inspectors.
