It’s not flimsy.
If they had incorrect intelligence given to them or had mistakenly observed the individuals or for whatever other reason they thought that convoy contained Hamas soldiers. Then they legitimately fired upon it.
No doubt an investigation will determine what happened.
But as long as they didn’t deliberately fire upon a target that they knew to be innocent aid workers, and there’s no evidence either way at the moment. Then as unfortunate as it is, at the moment, it is a tragic mistake. Or a failure in command and control, and/or negligence.
That needs to be investigated and prevented from happening in the future.
But to suggest IDF deliberately murdered those people is absolutely baseless, at this moment.
