The Israeli military official told reporters Tuesday that the newly revealed incident involved fighters posing as personnel of the Washington, D.C.-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) and occurred over the weekend after Israeli troops identified a gathering of "a few dozen" armed individuals traveling near an IDF post in Gaza. The Israeli forces then observed a parked vehicle bearing World Central Kitchen insignia, prompting Israeli personnel to contact the food security organization to verify that the individuals were not affiliated with the group, which has since confirmed the Israeli account.
