The whole idea that this was Israel's intention is weird. What does Israel have to gain from it? Clearly it puts it in a terrible light. The killing of 8 international would make it much more probable for Israel allies to back off from supporting it, while letting them pass would allow Israel to keep going with the war because it could say that it works with aid workers.
Even from the most cynical point of view (which I don't think is far from reality during when it comes to international affairs), it wouldn't even make sense that Israel intended to kill these people.

> Yeah, it's really important to situate that attack on the World Central Kitchen in the context of these many other attacks that have occurred since October in Gaza. We've documented incidents of attacks on guest houses, on convoys of aid organizations, including Doctors Without Borders, MSF, the UN institution there UNRWA, the International Rescue Committee, and Medical Aid for Palestinians and another American aid group. And in every single one of these instances, these groups notified the authorities, the Israeli authorities multiple times about the GPS coordinate of the guest house, of the convoy that was moving. When it was convoys, they were taking agreed-upon routes that the Israelis had told them to take. And in every instance, these attacks occurred with zero prior warning to the aid organizations, and we're talking about, you know, 15 aid workers having been killed in these attacks and another including two children, family members, and another 16 injured.
