WTF are "deconfliction mechanisms to avoid targeting aid convoys"? Is that kinda like "having a policy not to attack aid workers"?/s/

"U.S., the UN & many aid organizations have been urging Israel's government for months to do more to improve its deconfliction mechanisms to avoid targeting aid convoys.

The Biden administration raised this issue on a very high level with the Israeli government several times, but there was little change on the ground, U.S. officials say"

"A military word used since the 1970s to mean preventing “friendly fire” between allied armies[, d]econfliction is now being applied to attempts to stop aid clinics, hospitals, & schools from being bombed by warring parties."

"At best, both NGOs & armies share the same deconfliction objective: to protect civilians & patients. At worst,…armies use it to limit bad publicity & accusations of war crimes."

Ah yes. Now I see. Used by US to "limit bad publicity."

The whole idea of deconfliction originated among people who share the same interests (law enforcement, allied armed forces).

It completely breaks down when the warring party is the one that is intentionally & methodically targeting every institution of civil society, like schools, hospitals, universities, news org HQs, doctors' & journalists' families & homes, etc.

We've seen multiple instances already where the civil org shared coordinates, & Israel used that info to bomb them.

IDF "executed tens of people point blank, including one of our colleagues, Dr. Ahmed al-Maqadmeh…& his mother, who's also a physician…to say that this is a strategic targeting of Hamas, is an insult to our intellect & our humanity."

"This is a direct targeting of health care workers…when they leave the hospital, civilians give them civilian clothing, b/c wearing scrubs is sticking a target…on their back. That is how systematically health care has been targeted" #alShifa
