Jose Andres, chef and founder of the group, toldReuters the IDF targeted the convoy “systematically, car by car.”

The attack was not a “bad luck situation where, ‘oops, we dropped the bomb in the wrong place,'” Andres told the outlet. “Even if we were not in coordination with the [Israeli army], no democratic country and no military can be targeting civilians and humanitarians.”

Konyndyk added that Kirby’s defense of Israel, which the spokesman said did not know it was aiming at aid workers, serves as an admission that Israel violated the internationally recognized laws of war, which requires that parties make a distinction between combatants and civilians.

“The IDF has an affirmative responsibility to know what it is dropping bombs on,” said Konyndyk. “Kirby confirms they ignored that.”
