Eight of 9 victims of Israel’s attack on Beit Lahiya were aid workers

On Saturday, an Israeli drone strike killed at least nine people, including three photographers, were killed in Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza. Shuaib Yusaf, the CEO of the Al Khair Foundation, said eight of those killed were aid workers. “It is with great sadness and regret that we announce the demise in Gaza of eight of our team’s dedicated humanitarian aid workers. They were killed in violation of the agreed ceasefire in a drone airstrike,” Yusaf said. “The exact circumstances are still being established but we refute utterly any suggestion that those who were killed were militant or in any way connected with Hamas,” he added.
