The Israeli military says it struck an armed group posing as aid workers and using a vehicle marked with the logo of the World Central Kitchen (WCK), a US-based non-profit.

The strike, which took place last week, killed “five armed terrorists,” according to a Tuesday statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

A video released by the IDF shows at least eight men wearing yellow vests and standing around a vehicle with a WCK logo on top. Several of the men in the video appear to be armed, “cynically exploiting the status and trust afforded to aid organizations,” the IDF said.
