Late on Monday night, three vehicles were traveling through Gaza.

They were carrying aid workers from an organization called World Central Kitchen.

There were altogether seven staff and contractors in those vehicles and after delivering

the aid they got back on the road,

and it was at that point that they were struck.

They were hit by an Israeli air strike.

Our colleague Stephen Kalin has been looking into what happened.

And they were struck at three different locations. Stephen Kalin has been looking into what happened.

And they were struck at three different locations.

So the images that I've seen are of a,

they're all SUVs.

Two of them are armored.

One of the armored vehicles had a World Central Kitchen logo

plastered on the roof, very clear to see,

and it has a big gash in the roof

that looks like what appears to be a direct hit from a missile, some sort of projectile.

It's like a giant hole just going right through the center of this vehicle.

Yeah, I spoke to somebody who's a humanitarian worker who's been in these sorts of situations and they said it's likely that this projectile went pierced the armor on this vehicle went straight inside, exploded, and just basically pulverized the people that were inside.

The Israeli government acknowledged that it carried out the strike, which it said was a mistake.

In total, seven people were killed.

And it's not the first time aid workers have been killed in Gaza.

Around 200 have died there since the war began.
