Multiple aid workers were killed after a bus was attacked in Gaza on Wednesday night, according to a US-backed humanitarian aid organization which accused Hamas of carrying out the assault. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial US and Israeli-backed aid initiative, said on Wednesday night that a bus carrying more than two dozen of its team members was attacked by Hamas at around 10 p.m. local time, killing five and injuring others. GHF added on Thursday that three more team members had died. CNN has reached out to the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office in Gaza for comment. In reference to the same incident, Al-Khazindar Company, a Palestinian group working with GHF, said on Thursday that Hamas militants had targeted its workers, killing eight people. “Hamas targeted them after several threats, and we never expected the situation to escalate to the point of assassinating these workers,” the company director Raafat Al-Khazindar told CNN, adding that other workers were beaten and shot. The incident happened near the Quba Mosque in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, the director added.
