Aid workers among dead, as Israeli drones strike Gaza

NPR is reporting that "Two back-to-back Israeli airstrikes in the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahiya killed at least nine people on Saturday, according to Gaza civil defense. Witnesses and Gaza health officials say several of those killed were aid workers and journalists. The Israeli military says it was targeting two terrorists operating a drone in the area. 

In a statement, it says it hit those individuals, and then struck again when "a number of additional terrorists" collected the drone operating equipment and entered a vehicle. But the head of Gaza civil defense, Mahmoud Basal, told NPR they were aid workers from the London-based Al-Khair Foundation, along with several journalists working with the group.

The Al-Khair Foundation is based in London. Netanyahu banned the UN Aid agencies. The Red Cross works with the Red Crescent but they have to pay an extortion fee to Israel. This is one of the only groups that can get through. That's why Netanyahu targeted them.
