IDF Chief Apologizes for Airstrike that Killed Seven Aid Workers: ‘This Incident Was a Grave Mistake’

‘The strike was not carried out with the intention of harming WCK aid workers’

EXCERPT:

HALEVI: “We will continue taking immediate actions to ensure that more is done to protect humanitarian aid workers. This incident was a grave mistake. Israel is at a war with Hamas, not with the people of Gaza. We are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of WCK. We share in the grief of their families, as well as the entire World Central Kitchen Organization, from the bottom of our hearts. An independent body will investigate the incident thoroughly, we will complete it in the next coming days, we will learn from the conclusions, and implement them immediately. We will share, in full transparency, the findings of the investigation with the World Central Kitchen and other international relevant organizations. We see great importance in the continued delivery of humanitarian aid and we will keep working to facilitate this vital effort."
