DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Israeli military strike hit the first vehicle in a convoy carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati hospital in the Gaza Strip, killing four Palestinians associated with a local transportation company, officials said Friday.  The Israeli military insisted the four men were carrying weapons while the American Near East Refugee Aid group said the missile strike Thursday came without any warning or prior communication with soldiers.  The attack underlines the chaotic situation prevailing in the Gaza Strip and the dangers posed to aid groups since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel.  Over 80% of the Palestinian territory’s 2.3 million people have been displaced, with most now living in squalid tent camps. International experts say hundreds of thousands of people are on the brink of famine.
