Israel claims it has killed Palestinian allegedly involved in 7 October attack

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday that it had carried out a strike in Gaza on a “vehicle with a terrorist that took part in the murderous 7 October massacre”.

The IDF said it was investigating claims that the person worked for the international humanitarian organisation, the World Central Kitchen (WCK).

“The terrorist was monitored for a while by IDF intelligence and was struck following credible information regarding his real-time location,” they said.

“We emphasise that it was a civilian unmarked vehicle and its movement on the route was not coordinated for transporting of aid.”

The World Central Kitchen provides food in conflict zones. Sky News has reached out to the WCK for comment.

According to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry, at least 44,382 people have been killed and 105,142 injured in Gaza since 7 October 2023.
