In late August the Israel Defense Forces carried out a precision airstrike on gunmen who had sought to hijack an aid convoy. The IDF said it had targeted a vehicle in a convoy that was full of armed men. Initial reports portrayed the men as civilians, with claims the Israeli strike had killed “four Palestinians leading an aid convoy”.This type of framing of the conflict, and the way in which Hamas systematically seeks to exploit civilian institutions and humanitarian aid to cling to power in Gaza, is one of the reasons it is so difficult to uproot the terror organisation.
