And what lie did Israel say?

They were just trying to protect everyone from dihydrogen monoxide poisoning. Bibi saw a Facebook post about its dangers.

Really we should be complaining to the Americans. We have no leverage on Israel, and the Israelis know it.

They waited until it was parked and empty, wouldn't want to accidentally bomb any People Of The Book.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Upon hearing that IDRF Canada's water truck had been bombed, my office reached out to them and we have contacted the Israeli government for more information on the incident," Hussen said, calling attacks on humanitarian aid workers and operations "unacceptable."

The IDRF, a registered non-profit based in Toronto, told CBC News that the incident is believed to be the first bombing of a Canadian aid truck during the current war in Gaza.

The incident came just over two weeks after Israel admitted that it mistakenly struck a World Central Kitchen convoy, killing seven aid workers, including dual Canada-U.S. citizen Jacob Flickinger.

IDRF chief operating officer Nabil Ali said Friday that the agency had notified Global Affairs Canada about the bombing but had not received a response at the time.

Late last month, the top United Nations court ordered Israel to open more land crossings to allow supplies including food, water and fuel into the war-ravaged enclave, where 2.3 million civilians — more than half of whom are estimated to be displaced by the fighting — face crippling shortages of necessities.

The relief agency said on X that over the last six months, the truck delivered clean drinking water to tens of thousands, "serving as a lifeline" in northern and central Gaza.
