That was a US C-17. And some of the parachutes didn’t open. A reason why where supplies are dropped are recommended not to have people standing or sitting under them. So this is on the US, not Israel. More State Dept. incompetents.

Not intentional. Parachutes do fail to open, esp cargo chutes.

i know it’s not on Israel - stuff happens in war and war zones. aid workers take on the risks implicitly. the point is ‘stuff happened’ to us, with our good intentions, and there was no fingerpointing and no imputing bad intentions to us - really i didn’t even see it reported. to me to say that the IDF would intentionally hit aid workers is ludicrous.
