Israel bombed a humanitarian vehicle in Gaza on Saturday, reportedly killing three aid workers with World Central Kitchen and Palestinian bystanders who tried to come to help after an initial strike.

“We are heartbroken to share that a vehicle carrying World Central Kitchen colleagues was hit by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza,” the U.S.-based aid group founded by chef José Andrés, said in a statement.

“At this time, we are working with incomplete information and are urgently seeking more details,” the group said.

While Israeli officials said the vehicle was carrying a wanted Palestinian militant, WCK said it had “no knowledge that any individual in the vehicle had alleged ties to the October 7th Hamas attack.” The group said it was pausing operations in Gaza for the time being. “Our hearts,” they said, “are with our colleagues and their families in this unimaginable moment.”

According to reports, the WCK vehicle was targeted on Salah al-Din Street in Khan Younis. After the three aid workers were killed in the first strike, Middle East Eye reports two other people “tried to help” but “were also targeted and killed” by what is known as a double-tap strike.
