Israel Strikes Aid Convoy Organized by U.S. Humanitarian Group

The attack on the Anera convoy killed five

The Israeli military fired a missile, killing five people in the lead vehicle of an aid convoy in Gaza that it claimed had been hijacked by militants.

The military also said it killed a top Hamas commander and two other fighters Friday as its large-scale operations in the West Bank continued into a third day.

The D.C.-based nonprofit that organized the convoy, American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera), described it as a "shocking incident" in a statement Friday and said that those killed were from a local transportation company. It was urgently seeking more details about the incident.
