Gaza Aid Drivers Demand Probe as IDF Reviews Philadelphi Shooting

Gaza aid-truck drivers and relatives of Ahmad Nasser Salim demonstrated with Hebrew and English signs after the World Central Kitchen driver was shot by IDF fire near the Philadelphi Corridor. His father said Salim had a Kerem Shalom permit, left his truck because of a fault and was shot while unarmed. The IDF said a driver from another stopped truck ran toward troops after other drivers left vehicles against security procedures; soldiers felt an immediate threat, opened fire, gave initial treatment and transferred him through the Red Cross. The army says the incident is under operational review, a necessary step for preserving aid security and disciplined wartime conduct.
