On 12 August 2025, during the Gaza war (2023–present), the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that it launched a strike on a group of armed men in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, who were impersonating employees of World Central Kitchen (WCK), a United States-based nonprofit aid organization. The strike, which the IDF said had occurred several days earlier, came amid an Israeli military offensive into Deir al-Balah that had begun on 21 July.
