So why even allow WCK to operate from the start? They could easily just deny them access.

Seems like negligence and not caring for collateral damage is much more straightforward reason compared to intentionally targeting them.

The WCK withdrew from Gaza after being killed by Israel.

Now Israel can say that they didn't stop aid, they just "accidentally" killed an entire envoy of aid, which unfortunately led to the WCK withdrawing from Gaza.

Ok, so why not just put the blame on Hamas? Seems like an easy win-win if that was indeed Israel's goal.

Probably so they have "evidence" of their "good behaviour" for the next ICJ hearing.

So again, why not make it look like it was Hamas who killed the aid workers? I mean if it was all planned ahead seems like an obvious thing to do given that it wouldn't taint the "good behaviour" while also stopping aid.

1) Israel doesn't have to - they can do essentially anything, and their US/GB/DE/FR backers will continue to support and enable their genocidal behaviour

2) The Israeli army comes across as extremely unprofessional - I honestly believe Israel doesn't have full control over them. It's a car-crash of "soldiers" who believe Palestinians are inhuman beasts, combined with commanders who don't give a shit and probably couldn't control their squad in any case

1) I don't agree since international pressure is escalating, but regardless it would be a win-win for Israel to blame it on Hamas so I just don't buy it.

2) So what is it? Does the idf targets aid worker intentionally as part of a idf/Israel policy or is it some rogue soldier/commander that decided to do it? Those are two very different claims.
