BBC claims bomb attack may have targeted Red Cross aid convoy, but this seems highly unlikely given the Red Cross's laudable humanitarian role in Gaza - and the Israel's distrust of the organisation given previous attacks on its infrastructure by the IDF. Implication of the BBC report is that an Islamist group may have attacked the convoy for misguided ideological/pseudo-religious reasons.
A roadside explosion hit a Red Cross convoy near the Israeli-controlled Erez crossing in northern Gaza on Thursday.
The device blew out the windows of one vehicle, but no-one was injured, a spokesman for the Red Cross said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility and it is still unclear whether the Red Cross vehicle was the target of the attack.
