IDF Kills Suspected Oct. 7 Attacker Linked to World Central Kitchen

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) targeted and killed Ahed Azmi Qudeih, a World Central Kitchen employee who was also involved in the October 7 massacre at Kibbutz Nir Oz. The IDF clarified that Qudeih was not linked to any kidnappings and was tracked based on credible intelligence. This incident has prompted the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) to demand explanations from international organizations about employing individuals involved in terrorism and to ensure humanitarian frameworks are not exploited by terrorists. Previously, the IDF mistakenly struck a WCK convoy, leading to global condemnation and disciplinary actions against IDF officers.
