The IDF chief of general staff, Herzi Halevi, who attributed the strike to “misidentification”, said it “was not carried out with the intention of harming WCK aid workers” and called it a mistake that should not have happened.
On 9 December, the Israeli navy fired 20mm cannon rounds at an Unrwa guesthouse consisting of two buildings in Rafah, the UN relief agency told HRW.
In a third incident, on 8 January, an Israeli projectile pierced the side of a building in which more than 100 Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff and their families were sheltering in Khan Younis.
The report comes as a UN vehicle on Monday came under fire in Rafah, resulting in the death of a member of the organisation’s Department of Safety and Security and the injury of another as they were travelling to the European hospital in the embattled city.
Belkis Wille, a director at HRW, said: “On one hand Israel is blocking access to critical life-saving humanitarian provisions, and on the other attacking convoys that are delivering some of the small amount that they are allowing in.
Attacks perpetrated by Israeli forces against aid groups have elicited widespread condemnation, including from leaders of countries whose citizens were killed in the strikes.
