Abhorrent. “The soldiers film people fighting over the aid, and once it’s finished, they throw teargas to disperse the crowd. I saw displaced people who couldn’t get any aid picking pasta from the sand.” www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Truly impressive investigative work. Indeed difficult, but vital to watch. In addition to @janinadill.bsky.social's analysis, a few LOAC notes: --no claim of warning prior to firing on ambulances --commander's failure to punish can also be war crime --IDF personnel may face universal jx abroad
