The workers were driving in a clearly marked aid convoy, and they had coordinated their movements with Israeli officials. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized and said Israel “deeply regrets the tragic incident.” Videos and photos verified by The New York Times suggest the convoy was hit multiple times. The imagery shows three destroyed white vehicles, with the northernmost and southernmost vehicles nearly a mile and a half apart. “There was a tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu said. “We will do everything so that this thing does not happen again.” Aid organizations and several governments condemned the attack. The workers — a Palestinian, an Australian, a Pole, three Britons and a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen — were with the charity group World Central Kitchen, a newly important player in the effort to alleviate a looming famine in Gaza. The incident [underscored the risks to humanitarian workers](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRn7wF4P0TnaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNC8wMi93b3JsZC9taWRkbGVlYXN0L2dhemEtYWlkLWdyb3Vwcy1zdHJpa2VzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyNDA0MDImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTE5MTY0Jm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNjI0MjcmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmYFeHwMZv0mLutSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) in the area.

The slump, its first since 2020, suggested that Tesla’s aging lineup may be losing some of its command of the market. In China, Tesla faces BYD and dozens of other rivals with ambitions to expand worldwide. In Europe, established carmakers like Volkswagen and BMW have introduced more compelling battery-powered models. Tesla’s shares have fallen more than 30 percent this year, including a 5 percent drop today.
