Photos show World Central Kitchen convoy destruction after deadly Israeli attack

The air strikes on a World Central Kitchen convoy in the Gaza Strip that killed seven have prompted questions about Israel’s military practices in the war.

The airstrike on a World Central Kitchen convoy in the Gaza Strip on Monday killing seven team members has prompted a slew of questions about the Israeli military's practices in the war. 

While Israeli officials have acknowledged the bombings — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country’s forces had “unintentionally hit innocent people” — they have released few details about the incident. 

“It happens in war, we check it to the end, we are in contact with the governments, and we will do everything so that this thing does not happen again,” he said. 

In an effort to better understand what exactly happened, NBC News has geolocated the three damaged aid vehicles abandoned along a 1.55-mile stretch of coastal highway in Gaza, using images posted by international photo agencies and cross-referencing them with satellite imagery. 

In a statement, WCK said that the convoy that was hit was made up of three vehicles, two of which were armored and one of which had a softback. They were traveling south along Al-Rashid Road near WCK’s headquarters in Deir al-Balah, a Palestinian city in the central Gaza Strip. The coastal road was earmarked as an accessible road for humanitarian aid by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in March.
