It's a 'mistake' that happened because they have such little regard for where and whom they're targeting.
This was a previously designated safe route that they told the IDF they would be using and they had symbols on their cars. When they hit one and fled to the 2nd one they were hit again, those who survived were killed when their third and final car was also bombed.
This isn't a case of friendly fire. This is an organisation that did everything right, everything they were told to do, and was bombed by a control room that seemed to have no checks or restraints from just randomly firing at anything and anyone that moves.
It's not the first time aid workers have been killed either.
