The armored trucks were also clearly labeled with the charities logos.

This means the trucks were bombed intentionally, they were bombed when clearly identified as aid workers, or they were bombed indiscriminately.

None of the above is good for the IDF.

Most likely they will claim the "fog of war" was the issue and there will be non specific "changes" that they will make after a long delay, all while blaming aid organizations for not providing volunteers to stop the genocidal starvation they are causing.
